您应该实现Comparable <Person>。假设所有字段都不为空(为了简单起见)，年龄是int型，比较排名是第一，最后，年龄，compareTo方法非常简单:

public int compareTo(Person other) {
    int i = firstName.compareTo(other.firstName);
    if (i != 0) return i;

    i = lastName.compareTo(other.lastName);
    if (i != 0) return i;

    return Integer.compare(age, other.age);
}

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();
}

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。

对于那些能够使用Java 8流API的人来说，这里有一个更整洁的方法: lambda和排序

我正在寻找相当于c# LINQ:

.ThenBy(...)

我在Comparator上找到了Java 8的机制:

.thenComparing(...)

下面是演示算法的代码片段。

    Comparator<Person> comparator = Comparator.comparing(person -> person.name);
    comparator = comparator.thenComparing(Comparator.comparing(person -> person.age));

请查看上面的链接，以获得更简洁的方法，并解释Java的类型推断如何使其与LINQ相比定义起来更笨拙。

下面是完整的单元测试供参考:

@Test
public void testChainedSorting()
{
    // Create the collection of people:
    ArrayList<Person> people = new ArrayList<>();
    people.add(new Person("Dan", 4));
    people.add(new Person("Andi", 2));
    people.add(new Person("Bob", 42));
    people.add(new Person("Debby", 3));
    people.add(new Person("Bob", 72));
    people.add(new Person("Barry", 20));
    people.add(new Person("Cathy", 40));
    people.add(new Person("Bob", 40));
    people.add(new Person("Barry", 50));

    // Define chained comparators:
    // Great article explaining this and how to make it even neater:
    // http://blog.jooq.org/2014/01/31/java-8-friday-goodies-lambdas-and-sorting/
    Comparator<Person> comparator = Comparator.comparing(person -> person.name);
    comparator = comparator.thenComparing(Comparator.comparing(person -> person.age));

    // Sort the stream:
    Stream<Person> personStream = people.stream().sorted(comparator);

    // Make sure that the output is as expected:
    List<Person> sortedPeople = personStream.collect(Collectors.toList());
    Assert.assertEquals("Andi",  sortedPeople.get(0).name); Assert.assertEquals(2,  sortedPeople.get(0).age);
    Assert.assertEquals("Barry", sortedPeople.get(1).name); Assert.assertEquals(20, sortedPeople.get(1).age);
    Assert.assertEquals("Barry", sortedPeople.get(2).name); Assert.assertEquals(50, sortedPeople.get(2).age);
    Assert.assertEquals("Bob",   sortedPeople.get(3).name); Assert.assertEquals(40, sortedPeople.get(3).age);
    Assert.assertEquals("Bob",   sortedPeople.get(4).name); Assert.assertEquals(42, sortedPeople.get(4).age);
    Assert.assertEquals("Bob",   sortedPeople.get(5).name); Assert.assertEquals(72, sortedPeople.get(5).age);
    Assert.assertEquals("Cathy", sortedPeople.get(6).name); Assert.assertEquals(40, sortedPeople.get(6).age);
    Assert.assertEquals("Dan",   sortedPeople.get(7).name); Assert.assertEquals(4,  sortedPeople.get(7).age);
    Assert.assertEquals("Debby", sortedPeople.get(8).name); Assert.assertEquals(3,  sortedPeople.get(8).age);
    // Andi     : 2
    // Barry    : 20
    // Barry    : 50
    // Bob      : 40
    // Bob      : 42
    // Bob      : 72
    // Cathy    : 40
    // Dan      : 4
    // Debby    : 3
}

/**
 * A person in our system.
 */
public static class Person
{
    /**
     * Creates a new person.
     * @param name The name of the person.
     * @param age The age of the person.
     */
    public Person(String name, int age)
    {

下面的博客给出了一个很好的链式比较器的例子

http://www.codejava.net/java-core/collections/sorting-a-list-by-multiple-attributes-example

import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.Comparator;
import java.util.List;

/**
 * This is a chained comparator that is used to sort a list by multiple
 * attributes by chaining a sequence of comparators of individual fields
 * together.
 *
 */
public class EmployeeChainedComparator implements Comparator<Employee> {

    private List<Comparator<Employee>> listComparators;

    @SafeVarargs
    public EmployeeChainedComparator(Comparator<Employee>... comparators) {
        this.listComparators = Arrays.asList(comparators);
    }

    @Override
    public int compare(Employee emp1, Employee emp2) {
        for (Comparator<Employee> comparator : listComparators) {
            int result = comparator.compare(emp1, emp2);
            if (result != 0) {
                return result;
            }
        }
        return 0;
    }
}

打电话比较器:

Collections.sort(listEmployees, new EmployeeChainedComparator(
                new EmployeeJobTitleComparator(),
                new EmployeeAgeComparator(),
                new EmployeeSalaryComparator())
        );

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);
    }
}

}
