How do I implement Swift's Comparable protocol?

The Comparable protocol extends the Equatable protocol -> implement both of them

In Apple's Reference is an example from Apple (within the Comparable protocol reference) you can see how you should do it: Don't put the operation implementations within the class, but rather on the outside/global scope. Also you only have to implement the < operator from Comparable protocol and == from Equatable protocol.

Correct example:

class Person : Comparable {
    let name : String

    init(name : String) {
        self.name = name
    }
}

func < (lhs: Person, rhs: Person) -> Bool {
    return lhs.name < rhs.name
}

func == (lhs: Person, rhs: Person) -> Bool {
    return lhs.name == rhs.name
}

let paul = Person(name: "Paul")
let otherPaul = Person(name: "Paul")
let ben = Person(name: "Ben")

paul > otherPaul  // false
paul <= ben       // false
paul == otherPaul // true

Here is an update of Kametrixom's answer for Swift 3:

class Person : Comparable {

    let name : String

    init(name : String) {
        self.name = name
    }    

    static func < (lhs: Person, rhs: Person) -> Bool {
        return lhs.name < rhs.name
    }

    static func == (lhs: Person, rhs: Person) -> Bool {
        return lhs.name == rhs.name
    }
}

Instances of the Person class can then be compared with the relational operators as follows:

let paul = Person(name: "Paul")
let otherPaul = Person(name: "Paul")
let ben = Person(name: "Ben")

print(paul > otherPaul)  // false
print(paul <= ben)       // false
print(paul == otherPaul) // true
