Answer 1

Create a value object that holds all your scoring, time and other details. Create a Comparator that compares the components between two of these holders. The sorting can be achieved by creating a Set of Holder with a Comparator.

If you wish to sort by other properties in a different order simply update the Comparator as appropriate.

Holder {
    long time;
    int score;

    String name;
}

Comparator<Holder> {
    int compare( Holder holder, Holder other ){
       int result = holder.time - other.time;
       if( 0 == result ){
          result = holder.score - other.score;
       }
        return result;
   }
}
