See java.lang.Comparable, java.util.Comparator, and java.util.Collections.
Collections.sort(List) takes a list of objects that implement the Comparable
interface. Collections.sort(List, Comparator) takes a list of anything and a
Comparator that knows how to compare them.

Also, the BeanComparator class in the jakarta-commons beanutils library
may come in handy.
