Sorting an Array
Is it possible to sort an array based on two parameters?
For ex, can the compare logic be written like this:
Sort based on the 1st parameter(has more preference), if this is not available then sort based on the 2nd parameter.
Is it possible to code this logic?

Re: Sorting an Array
Yes it is. Simply have your object implement the compareTo method, then implement that type of a comparison inside that method.
Re: Sorting an Array
You can also use the sort(T[] a, Comparator<? super T> c) Sorts the specified array of objects according to the order induced by the specified comparator. I believe this will do what you want and it is simplified into one function call.
