I feel that it's inconvenient for early adapters, but this is still the new API in 8 and we should still choose the best name. reverseOrder() is a natural choice and just a migration from Comparators. The old reverseOrder() is an instance default method, and is a compromise of reverse() for name clashing, I think reversed() is the right name. As the renaming of that default method is necessary, I think it's just need more attention on find out all method calls. The difference between a static and default method can be used to hint on search in files. Cheers, Henry
