sorting an NSMutableArray of objects in cocoa gives SIGABRT

I am creating a program that requires me to build an NSMutable array and then add objects to that array as buttons are clicked.

After the user has clicked all the buttons that they want (therefore adding all the objects that they need into the mutable array) I need to sort the array based on the objects name. The objects are NSImageViews that are added to the array with names like view1, view2, view40. I need a way to sort the objects in the array according to the numbers in the last digit of their name. I was using

[nameOfArray sortUsingSelector:@selector(caseInsensitiveCompare:)];

but when I run the app I get SIGABRT at that line.

I have looked at many many other threads and can not find a solution.

Any help is greatly appreciated, as I have been working on this for several weeks now, Anybody know what I am doing wrong?

EDIT , Here is what the debugger said afterwords

Your array contains UIImageViews and your sort calls caseInsensitiveCompare: on those instances of UIImageView, but that class doesn't have any method by that name. You should do something like this:

[nameOfArray sortUsingComparator:^(id obj1, id obj2) {
    UIImageView *view1 = obj1;
    UIImageView *view2 = obj2;

    // Somehow compare the views and return NSOrderedAscending,
    // NSOrderedDescending or NSOrderedSame, for example by calling
    // appropriate "compare:" methods.
    return myComparisonResult
}];
