Need help with compareTo method

[rocafella5007]

Hi,
I need help with my comapreTo method. I have a program that is to sort through data of the SalariedEmployee and sort them based on either there salary, last name, or first name, but I can't figure this insertionSort() method. Can somebody please help me. Here is my program.


// classDataArray.java
// data items as class objects
// to run this program: C>java ClassDataApp

{
System.out.print(" Last name: " + lastName);
