Sorting NSMutableArray?
I want to be sort NSMutableArray and its structure is something like that,
Object1:NSMutableDictionary
Affiliation = 2165;
CallLetters = abc;
Channel = "2.1";
ChannelLocation = "";
ChannelSchedules = (
);
DisplayName = abc;
DvbTriplets = (
);
FullName = "bc";
IconAvailable = 1;
Order = 1;
ParentNe开发者_运维技巧tworkId = 2;
ServiceType = Digital;
SourceAttributeTypes =
HD
SourceId = 11222;
SourceType = Broadcast;
TiVoSupported = 1;
Type = "24-Hours";
Object2:NSMutableDictionary
Affiliation = 1209;
CallLetters = "xyz";
Chann?el = "4.1";
ChannelLocation = "";
ChannelSchedules = (
);
DisplayName = "xyz";
DvbTriplets = (
);
FullName = "xyz";
IconAvailable = 1;
Order = 2;
ParentNetworkId = 5;
ServiceType = Digital;
SourceAttributeTypes = HD
SourceId = 111
SourceType = Broadcast;
TiVoSupported = 1;
Type = "24-Hours";
VirtualChannelNumber = "4.1";
... .. . . . ./
The array contains many objects, and those objects contain many dictionaries. I want to be able to arrange the above array in ascending order using the NSMutableDictionary key "Channel" ?
How can I sort the array?
Use NSSortDescriptor it will work
NSSortDescriptor *aSortDescriptor = [[NSSortDescriptor alloc] initWithKey:@"Channel" ascending:YES];
[yourarrayobject sortUsingDescriptors:[NSArray arrayWithObject:aSortDescriptor]];
[aSortDescriptor release];
To sort your array of objects you:
- setup NSSortDescriptor - use names of your variables as keys to setup descriptor for sorting plus the selector to be executed on those keys
- get the array of descriptors using NSSortDescriptor that you've setup
- sort your array based on those descriptors
