The Comparator interface type

• How can we sort countries by name?
• Can't implement Comparable twice!
• Comparator interface type gives added flexibility
  

  public interface Comparator
  {
     int compare(Object object1, Object object2);
  }
  

• Pass comparator object to sort:
  

  Collections.sort(list, comp);
