Persons who managed to get to the finish line. The list is sorted in
an order of finishing so thoseWhoFinishedTheRace().get( 0 ) is the
winner.
In this example the collection is not _sorted_ - it is _ordered_ with
information not available to Person bean. The use of index field is
mandatory - it's not bad database design.
It is bad - good design will have 'finished' timestamp ;-P
LOL. Still there are several usecases when you do not have a field to
sort on like "a list of shirts I like best starting from the most
favourite one". :)
