Sort and Object array of Arrays

Question

Hi,
I have an object array that contains a String[] and an int[].
Object[String[], int[]]
The values in the Strings array must be in the same position in the array as those in the int array i.e
String [0] is the string representation of int[0].
Its for a bar chart.
That is all working beautifully.
Now however I want to sort the int array in descending order by the value of the ints in the array and thus the order or the String array has to mirror this.
I am using a comparator to do this but it just wont work. I'm sure this is the way but how should it look?
Has anybody got any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
L.

use the bubblesort:
    for (int i = a.length; --i >= 0; ) {
        for (int j = 0; j < i; j++) {
            if (a[j][1] > a[j+1][1]) {
                int temp = a[j];
                a[j] = a[j + 1];
                a[j + 1] = temp;
    }
