Comparing Objects

[x-ice]

If i have two objects how can i compare them?

For example.

I have two objects of the same class. They have a variable called 'data' which is a string.

Object 1: data = 'hello'
Object 2: data = 'bye'

I want to compare these objects to see which object would come first (alphabetically) if the 'data' variable of both objects was sorted into alphabetical order.

The order i would be order is Obect 2 and then Object 1, but how can i do this in code?

Thanks.
