Type Bob
  Field X,Y
  Field SortUsingY

  Method Compare(other:Object)
    If Bob(other)
      If SortUsingY
        Return Sgn(Y - Bob(other).Y)
      Else
        Return Sgn(X - Bob(other).X)
      EndIf
    EndIf
    Return -1
  EndMethod
EndType
Or something like that. It's probably better to have a global variable controlling which parameter to use, instead of one for each type instance.
