Comparable与Comparator接口的使用
Comparable接口强行对实现它的每个类的对象进行整体排序。此排序被称为该类的自然排序，类的 compareTo 方法被称为它的自然比较方法。

实现此接口的对象列表（和数组）可以通过 Collections.sort（和 Arrays.sort）进行自动排序。实现此接口的对象可以用作有序映射表中的键或有序集合中的元素，无需指定比较器。

Comparator比较函数强行对某些对象 collection 进行整体排序。可以将 Comparator 传递给 sort 方法（如 Collections.sort），从而允许在排序顺序上实现精确控制。还可以

使用 Comparator 来控制某些数据结构（如 TreeSet 或 TreeMap）的顺序。

以下为一个人的排序实例:
package com.lyh.util.compar;
import java.util.Comparator;

//实现按FirstName进行排序
public class FirstNameComparator implements Comparator {
public FirstNameComparator() {
   // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
}
public int compare(Object person, Object anotherPerson) {
   // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    String lastName1 = ((Person) person).getLastName().toUpperCase();
       String firstName1 = ((Person) person).getFirstName().toUpperCase();
       String lastName2 = ((Person) anotherPerson).getLastName().toUpperCase();
       String firstName2 = ((Person) anotherPerson).getFirstName().toUpperCase();
      
       if (firstName1.equals(firstName2)) {
           return lastName1.compareTo(lastName2);
         } else {
           return firstName1.compareTo(firstName2);
         }
}

}
//实现按LastName进行排序

package com.lyh.util.compar;

import java.util.Comparator;

public class LastNameComparator implements Comparator {

public int compare(Object person, Object anotherPerson) {
   String lastName1 = ((Person) person).getLastName().toUpperCase();
   String firstName1 = ((Person) person).getFirstName().toUpperCase();
   String lastName2 = ((Person) anotherPerson).getLastName().toUpperCase();
   String firstName2 = ((Person) anotherPerson).getFirstName()
     .toUpperCase();

   if (lastName1.equals(lastName2)) {
    return firstName1.compareTo(firstName2);
   } else {
    return lastName2.compareTo(lastName1);
   }
}

}

//Person类

package com.lyh.util.compar;

public class Person implements Comparable {
private String firstName;

private String lastName;

private int age;

public int getAge() {
   return age;
}

public void setAge(int age) {
   this.age = age;
}

public String getFirstName() {
   return firstName;
}

public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
   this.firstName = firstName;
}

public String getLastName() {
   return lastName;
}

public void setLastName(String lastName) {
   this.lastName = lastName;
}

public int compareTo(Object anotherPerson) {
   // TODO Auto-generated method stub
   if (!(anotherPerson instanceof Person)) {
         throw new ClassCastException("A Person object expected.");
       }
       int anotherPersonAge = ((Person) anotherPerson).getAge();
       return this.age - anotherPersonAge;

}

}

//主函数
package com.lyh.util.compar;

import java.util.Arrays;

public class MainClass {

/**
   * @param args
   */
@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
public static void main(String[] args) {
   // TODO Auto-generated method stub
   Person[] persons = new Person[4];
      persons[0] = new Person();
      persons[0].setFirstName("A");
      persons[0].setLastName("X");
      persons[0].setAge(56);

      persons[1] = new Person();
      persons[1].setFirstName("S");

      persons[1].setLastName("C");
      persons[1].setAge(8);

      persons[2] = new Person();
      persons[2].setFirstName("E");
      persons[2].setLastName("H");
      persons[2].setAge(16);

      persons[3] = new Person();
      persons[3].setFirstName("B");
      persons[3].setLastName("Q");
      persons[3].setAge(69);

      System.out.println("Natural Order");
      for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
        Person person = persons[i];
        String lastName = person.getLastName();
        String firstName = person.getFirstName();
        int age = person.getAge();
        System.out.println(lastName + ", " + firstName + ". Age:" + age);
      }
      Arrays.sort(persons, new LastNameComparator());
      System.out.println();
      System.out.println("Sorted by last name");
      for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
        Person person = persons[i];
        String lastName = person.getLastName();
        String firstName = person.getFirstName();
        int age = person.getAge();
        System.out.println(lastName + ", " + firstName + ". Age:" + age);
      }
      Arrays.sort(persons, new FirstNameComparator());
      System.out.println();
      System.out.println("Sorted by first name");
      for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
        Person person = persons[i];
        String lastName = person.getLastName();
        String firstName = person.getFirstName();
        int age = person.getAge();
        System.out.println(lastName + ", " + firstName + ". Age:" + age);
      }
      Arrays.sort(persons);
      System.out.println();
      System.out.println("Sorted by age");
      for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
        Person person = persons[i];
        String lastName = person.getLastName();
        String firstName = person.getFirstName();
        int age = person.getAge();
        System.out.println(lastName + ", " + firstName + ". Age:" + age);
      }
