Answer 1

So assuming you have it in a structure in c# you can use linq to order by multiple items.
e.g.
listOfPeople.OrderBy(person => person.LastName)
.ThenBy(person => person.FirstName)
.ThenBy(person => person.DOB)
This is a trivial example of course but depending on how you wanted them sorted - if inside their own container or all as one - you could run this iterator. It is quite efficient - better programmers than you and I made it so.
Probably tougher is how to sort the spaceType - as just doing it like that would do it alphabetically which might not be what you want.
