Hi all,
     I want to sort the objects of array based on two attributes.I want
sort an employee class based on his salary and name , so that if two
person has same salary it should be sorted with name.
     Lets say for example the employee objects has following name and
salary.

         name      salary
           d        100
           c        200
           b        50
           a        100


     so in this case the result which i expect is

         name      salary
           c        50
           a        100
           d        100
           b        200

  Note:In the above example for salary 100 the sorting is done
alphabetically, but initially(before sorting) ''d'' came first
and then
''a'' came.so basically i want to sort the array with more than
one order.
  Can any one help me to solve it ??
