I don't understand entirely what you want, but you can write your own
compare function ( def comp(x,y): ... returns {-1,0,1} ) and plug it
into the sort function of an array (a.sort(comp)). That's basic
python.
Then just the compare function defines the element ordering,
independent of the element class.
But maybe I missed your point, Harald
PS: If you know Java, that's a Comparator
