I want to sort my object by many criteria but in different event/method. example, there 2 options: 1 . Sort by name 2. Sort by Hit Point

public class MonsterArray implements Comparable<Monster>{
        ......
        public int compareTo(Monster m) {
         //what must i code here    
        }

If you want to sort by different criteria, you implement different `Comparator`s (notice the difference to `Comparable`). – qqilihq Oct 02 '14 at 07:43
