如果我们必须基于多个字段对Person对象进行排序，则相同的代码实现在这里。

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Collections;
import java.util.Comparator;

public class Person {

private String firstName;
private String lastName;
private int 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 getAge() {
    return age;
}

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

public Person(String firstName, String lastName, int age) {
    this.firstName = firstName;
    this.lastName = lastName;
    this.age = age;
}


static class PersonSortingComparator implements Comparator<Person> {

    @Override
    public int compare(Person person1, Person person2) {

        // for first name comparison
        int firstNameCompare = person1.getFirstName().compareTo(person2.getFirstName());

        // for last name comparison
        int lastNameCompare = person1.getLastName().compareTo(person2.getLastName());

        // for last name comparison
        int ageCompare = person1.getAge() - person2.getAge();

        // Now comparing
        if (firstNameCompare == 0) {
            if (lastNameCompare == 0) {
                return ageCompare;
            }
            return lastNameCompare;
        }
        return firstNameCompare;
    }
}

public static void main(String[] args) {
    Person person1 = new Person("Ajay", "Kumar", 27);
    Person person2 = new Person("Ajay","Gupta", 23);
    Person person3 = new Person("Ajay","Kumar", 22);


    ArrayList<Person> persons = new ArrayList<>();
    persons.add(person1);
    persons.add(person2);
    persons.add(person3);


    System.out.println("Before Sorting:\n");
    for (Person person : persons) {
        System.out.println(person.firstName + " " + person.lastName + " " + person.age);
    }

    Collections.sort(persons, new PersonSortingComparator());

    System.out.println("After Sorting:\n");
    for (Person person : persons) {
        System.out.println(person.firstName + " " + person.lastName + " " + person.age);
    }
}

}

在java中使用hashcode方法比较两个对象很容易。

public class Sample{

  String a=null;
  String b=null;

  public Sample(){
      a="s";
      b="a";
  }
  public Sample(String a,String b){
      this.a=a;
      this.b=b;
  }
  public static void main(String args[]){
      Sample f=new Sample("b","12");
      Sample s=new Sample("b","12");
      //will return true
      System.out.println((s.a.hashCode()+s.b.hashCode())==(f.a.hashCode()+f.b.hashCode()));

      //will return false
      Sample f=new Sample("b","12");
      Sample s=new Sample("b","13");
      System.out.println((s.a.hashCode()+s.b.hashCode())==(f.a.hashCode()+f.b.hashCode()));

}

您可以实现一个Comparator来比较两个Person对象，并且可以检查任意数量的字段。你可以在比较器中放入一个变量，告诉它与哪个字段进行比较，尽管只编写多个比较器可能会更简单。

//Following is the example in jdk 1.8
package com;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Comparator;
import java.util.List;

class User {
    private String firstName;
    private String lastName;
    private Integer age;

    public Integer getAge() {
        return age;
    }

    public User setAge(Integer age) {
        this.age = age;
        return this;
    }

    public String getFirstName() {
        return firstName;
    }

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

    public String getLastName() {
        return lastName;
    }

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

}

public class MultiFieldsComparision {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        List<User> users = new ArrayList<User>();

        User u1 = new User().setFirstName("Pawan").setLastName("Singh").setAge(38);
        User u2 = new User().setFirstName("Pawan").setLastName("Payal").setAge(37);
        User u3 = new User().setFirstName("Anuj").setLastName("Kumar").setAge(60);
        User u4 = new User().setFirstName("Anuj").setLastName("Kumar").setAge(43);
        User u5 = new User().setFirstName("Pawan").setLastName("Chamoli").setAge(44);
        User u6 = new User().setFirstName("Pawan").setLastName("Singh").setAge(5);

        users.add(u1);
        users.add(u2);
        users.add(u3);
        users.add(u4);
        users.add(u5);
        users.add(u6);

        System.out.println("****** Before Sorting ******");

        users.forEach(user -> {
            System.out.println(user.getFirstName() + " , " + user.getLastName() + " , " + user.getAge());
        });

        System.out.println("****** Aftre Sorting ******");

        users.sort(
                Comparator.comparing(User::getFirstName).thenComparing(User::getLastName).thenComparing(User::getAge));

        users.forEach(user -> {
            System.out.println(user.getFirstName() + " , " + user.getLastName() + " , " + user.getAge());
        });

    }

}

我认为如果你的比较算法是“聪明的”，那就更令人困惑了。我会选择你建议的众多比较方法。

对我来说唯一的例外就是平等。对于单元测试，重写. equals(在.net中)对我来说很有用，以便确定两个对象之间的几个字段是否相等(而不是引用是否相等)。

import com.google.common.collect.ComparisonChain;

/**
 * @author radler
 * Class Description ...
 */
public class Attribute implements Comparable<Attribute> {

    private String type;
    private String value;

    public String getType() { return type; }
    public void setType(String type) { this.type = type; }

    public String getValue() { return value; }
    public void setValue(String value) { this.value = value; }

    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return "Attribute [type=" + type + ", value=" + value + "]";
    }

    @Override
    public int compareTo(Attribute that) {
        return ComparisonChain.start()
            .compare(this.type, that.type)
            .compare(this.value, that.value)
            .result();
    }

}
