You guarantee a specific iteration order from a FeatureHolder (unless  
you write your own implementation).  You can, however, dump some  
features into a List or Set then sort them there.

           FeatureHolder fh = ...;
           List l = new ArrayList();
           for (Iterator i = fh.features(); i.hasNext(); ) {
               l.add(i.next());
           }
           Collections.sort(l, Feature.byLocationOrder);
