require 'rubygems'
require 'attributes_sort'

class Person
  include AttributesSort

  attr_accessor :firstname,:lastname,:age

  def initialize(firstname="", lastname="" ,age=0)
    @firstname = firstname
    @lastname = lastname
    @age = age
  end
end

people = [
  Person.new("joe","blow",12),
  Person.new("joe","blow",89),
  Person.new("mary","watson",32),
  Person.new("annie","watson",9),
  Person.new("bob","builder",12)
]
p people.attr_sort(:sort_by=>[:lastname])
p people.attr_sort(:sort_by=>[:age])
p people.attr_sort(:sort_by=>[:lastname,:firstname,:age])
