As we are using Date property of ArrayList, we can use compareTo() method, because Date implements comparable.

public class CustomComparator implements Comparator<MyObject> {
    @Override
    public int compare(MyObject o1, MyObject o2) {
        return o1.getStartDate().compareTo(o2.getStartDate());
    }
}

comapreTo() returns int value.

Collections.sort(Database.arrayList, new CustomComparator());

You can Sort using java 8

yourList.sort(Comparator.comparing(Classname::getName));

or

yourList.stream().forEach(a -> a.getBObjects().sort(Comparator.comparing(Classname::getValue)));
