Fine, your answer put me on the right track. Just a note: I can't override directly the compareMembers method without breaking things, because the original implementation relies on a *private* member variabile to control the sort direction (which is needed by the hierarchize and union methods). What's the point making a method protected and leaving private the members it requires to work? :)
Anyway I created a static utility method to perform the sort that is very similar to the compareMembers one.
