use Comparator or goto techfaq360.com/java_interview_questions.jsp?qid=379 for code example

make the class implement the Comparable interface and create a way in which you are going to order the objects of the class. By name and then break ties by some dateorder? I expect you would want to use the built-in sorting capabilities of objects of the String and Date abstract data types.
