How to sort a sequence of classes that contain nested classes using custom comparison logic in Scala

1 Answer

0 votes
// A nested case class representing an address
case class Address(city: String, zip: Int)

// A case class representing a person, containing a nested Address
case class Person(name: String, age: Int, address: Address)

// Print each person in a formatted line
def printPersons(people: Seq[Person]): Unit = {
  people.foreach { p =>
    println(s"${p.name} | age: ${p.age} | city: ${p.address.city} | zip: ${p.address.zip}")
  }
}

// Sort persons by city, then zip, then age
def sortPersons(people: Seq[Person]): Seq[Person] = {
  people.sortBy(p => (p.address.city, p.address.zip, p.age))
}

// Main entry point — required in Scala 2
object Main {
  def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = {

    val people: Seq[Person] = Seq(
      Person("Alice", 30, Address("San Francisco", 42100)),
      Person("Bob",   40, Address("Austin",        32000)),
      Person("Carol", 35, Address("New York City", 42000)),
      Person("Dave",  25, Address("Austin",        32000)),
      Person("Eve",   28, Address("New York City", 61000))
    )

    val sorted = sortPersons(people)
    printPersons(sorted)
  }
}



/*
run:

Dave | age: 25 | city: Austin | zip: 32000
Bob | age: 40 | city: Austin | zip: 32000
Carol | age: 35 | city: New York City | zip: 42000
Eve | age: 28 | city: New York City | zip: 61000
Alice | age: 30 | city: San Francisco | zip: 42100
