The bigger issue with the a Compare() approach that it will remain

You would not need to... you code it in the class implementing the
interface...a simple example for a date property:
Function Compare(ObjToCompare as Comparable) as Integer
Return MyClass(ObjToCompare).theDate.TotalSeconds _
- me.theDate.TotalSeconds
End function

That is enough to allow a sort.
