Same Multi comparator used in 2 different popups

Question

Hi,
I am using a multi comparator to do a sorting for the search results in a pop screen for a customer details.Here is the code
class MultiComparator<T> implements Comparator<CustomerVO> {
public int compare(CustomerVO o1, CustomerVO o2) {
int i = o1.getCustId().compareTo(o2.getCustId()); // primary
int j = o1.getCustName().compareTo(o2.getCustName()); // secondary
if (i > 0) {
return 1;
} else if (i < 0) {
return -1;
} else {
if (j > 0) {
return 1;
} else if (j < 0) {
return -1;
} else {
return 0;
if (sortColumn == null) {
Collections.sort(searchList, new MultiComparator<CustomerVO>());
This is fine for the selected popup screen which is displaying the customer details.
Now i need to use the same comparator for another popup screen which is displaying customers contact details
but importantly it does have the custId and CustName fields displayed in that popup. In such case how i can use the
same Comparator for displaying the contacts details as they dont include the custId and custName which is a
part of the Comparator. I hope i am clear with my question.
Thanks.

Thanks Sabre for the templated class , that was a typo. How can i use the same comparator used for customer screen popup for another popup screen which displays contact details but doesnot have the custId & custName fields. Hence how can i retain the same ordering of customer screen popup (using multi comparator) for contact details?
