This question is unanswerable because anything that sublimes won't ever melt.

Because sublime = the change from solid to gas, while at no point becoming a liquid.

and melting = the process of heating a solid substance to a liquid

I would beg to differ. Sublimation depends on other variables as well, i.e. pressure. (lower pressure)

Water is a substance that sublimates and melts. It's sublimation point is actually lower than it's melting point (if it were higher the substance would be in it's transition state... defeating the purpose)

I don't know nearly enough to tell you anything else, except that in a single substance, it is more likely that the sublimation point is lower.

Are the boiling points higher temperature than the melting points?

yes, for the same molecule. However, some substances don't have a liquid phase and so the melting point is exactly the same as the boiling point at normal pressures (sublimation is the phase change from solid -> gas)

Can potassium chloride andsodium chloride be separated by sublimation?

No, because neither of them sublimate at 760 torr (1 atm). They melt. You could separate them by melting point, as NaCl has a melting point of 801ºC, but KCl has a melting point of 770ºC.
