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);
    }
}

}

晚做总比不到好——如果你正在寻找不必要的混乱或开销，那么很难同时在最少的代码/快速执行方面击败下面的方法。

数据类:

public class MyData {
    int id;
    boolean relevant;
    String name;
    float value;
}

比较器:

public class MultiFieldComparator implements Comparator<MyData> {
    @Override
    public int compare(MyData dataA, MyData dataB) {
        int result;
        if((result = Integer.compare(dataA.id, dataB.id)) == 0 &&
           (result = Boolean.compare(dataA.relevant, dataB.relevant)) == 0 &&
           (result = dataA.name.compareTo(dataB.name)) == 0)
            result = Float.compare(dataA.value, dataB.value);
        return result;
    }
}

如果你只是想按自定义顺序对集合进行排序，那么下面的代码就更清晰了:

myDataList.sort((dataA, dataB) -> {
    int result;
    if((result = Integer.compare(dataA.id, dataB.id)) == 0 &&
       (result = Boolean.compare(dataA.relevant, dataB.relevant)) == 0 &&
       (result = dataA.name.compareTo(dataB.name)) == 0)
        result = Float.compare(dataA.value, dataB.value);
    return result;
});

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();
    }

}

如果实现Comparable接口，则需要选择一个简单的属性进行排序。这就是所谓的自然排序。把它看作默认值。通常在没有提供特定比较器时使用。通常这是名称，但您的用例可能调用不同的东西。您可以自由地使用任何数量的其他比较器，您可以提供给各种集合api来覆盖自然排序。

还要注意，通常如果a.c omareto (b) == 0，则a.c omareto (b) == true。如果没有也没关系，但是有副作用要注意。在Comparable接口上查看优秀的javadocs，您将找到许多关于这方面的有用信息。

与比较方法不同，您可能只想在Person类中定义几种类型的“Comparator”子类。这样就可以将它们传递到标准的Collections排序方法中。

另一个可以考虑的选项是Apache Commons。它提供了很多选项。

import org.apache.commons.lang3.builder.CompareToBuilder;

Ex:

public int compare(Person a, Person b){

   return new CompareToBuilder()
     .append(a.getName(), b.getName())
     .append(a.getAddress(), b.getAddress())
     .toComparison();
}
