Given the following Array, how do we write code that sorts the contained objects by the last name, first name descending?

[
{key: 1, firstName: "George", lastName: "Jones"},
{key: 1, firstName: "Alison", lastName: "Clarke"},
{key: 1, firstName: "Ben", lastName: "Smith"},
{key: 1, firstName: "Xavier", lastName: "Clark"},
{key: 1, firstName: "Harold", lastName: "Timmins"}
]

I don't know how to proceed on this and I thought you guys might help.

Thanks

In JavaScript:

myarray.sort(function(a, b) {
    return b.lastName.localeCompare(a.lastName) ||
           b.firstName.localeCompare(a.firstName)
});

DEMO: http://jsfiddle/nMs67/

Write your own Comparator that pares the objects using the logic you wrote above, and call the two parameters version of Arrays.sort with it.

This is largely the same in Java or JavaScript, except that in Java, the Comparator needs to be an object of a class implementing the Comparator interface, while in JavaScript just a function would be enough. This somewhat highlights JavaScript's functional aspect and Java's Object oriented nature.
