data structure with multiple keys
Say I want to create an object that can have a number of indexes. For example, a table for an employee would have indexes on employeeID (PK), and,
commonly used searchable terms e.g. employeeFirstName, employeeSecondName.
Is there some data structure that would support this data structure within the Collection objects?

This sounds like you'll need to create a few Comparator helper classes to assist with flexible sorting of your data.

Either that, or actually use a database.
