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:

    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);

如果用户有多种方式对人排序，你也可以在某个地方设置多个comparator常量。大多数排序操作和排序集合都以比较器作为参数。

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。

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())
        );
