 *
 * An AddresseeList does not automatically keep sorted when addressees
 * are added or removed or the sorting order is changed, as this would
 * slow down larger operations by sorting after every step. So after
 * such operations you have to call {@link #sort} or {@link #sortBy} to
 * create a defined order again.
 *
 * Iterator usage is inherited by TQValueList and extensively documented
 * there. Please remember that the state of an iterator is undefined
 * after any sorting operation.
 *
 * For the enumeration Type SortingCriterion, which specifies the
 * field by the collection will be sorted, the following values exist:
 * Uid, Name, FormattedName, FamilyName, GivenName.
