Swift 按值排序字典作为数组

Question

Hello guys i have struct Datas() which contains field start with date. I have like 24 objects and i want to add it to collection and sort collection by time ( .start field). I tried answers from stack, but it not my case.

var todaysTimes = [Int:[Datas]]()


struct Datas {

var id: Int
var isVisited: Bool
var start: Date
var end: Date
}

configure cell

private func configureCell(collectionView: UICollectionView, indexPath: IndexPath) -> UICollectionViewCell {

    let availableSessionTimeCell = collectionView.dequeueReusableCell(withReuseIdentifier: availableSessionCell, for: indexPath) as! EVAvailableSessionTimeCell
    let dataItem = todaysTimes[clinicSection[indexPath.section]!]![indexPath.row]

   availableSessionTimeCell.dateLabel.text = Date.time(day: dataItem.start)

    return cell
}

Answer 1

As I understood you would like to sort the array of object Datas in your dictionary. But not sort the dictionary itself. In case you would like to sort every value (which is [Datas] ) in your dictionary key-value then in your viewDidLoad() probably you could sort the array in your data to be as you wished (either ascending or descending ).

You can achieve it by looping in your dictionary and sort the values in a way like this:

for (id, datas) in todaysTimes {
        todaysTimes[id] = datas.sorted(by: { $0.start.compare($1.start) == .orderedDescending })
    }

For a complete example , you can try this in http://online.swiftplayground.run/ :

struct Datas {
    var id: Int
    var isVisited: Bool
    var start: Date
    var end: Date
}

// Dump data to show an example
var todaysTimes = [Int:[Datas]]()
let today = Date()
let one_day_before_today = Calendar.current.date(byAdding: .day, value: -1, to: today)!
let two_day_before_today = Calendar.current.date(byAdding: .day, value: -2, to: today)!
todaysTimes[1] = [Datas(id: 1, isVisited: false, start: one_day_before_today, end: Date()), Datas(id: 1, isVisited: false, start: today, end: Date()), Datas(id: 1, isVisited: false, start: two_day_before_today, end: Date())]

// Sort Descending
print("Sorted descending")
for (id, datas) in todaysTimes {
    todaysTimes[id] = datas.sorted(by: { $0.start.compare($1.start) == .orderedDescending })
}
print(todaysTimes)

// Sort Ascending
print("Sorted ascending")
for (id, datas) in todaysTimes {
    todaysTimes[id] = datas.sorted(by: { $0.start.compare($1.start) == .orderedAscending })
}
print(todaysTimes)

// Will print these two lines
// Sorted descending
// [1: [SwiftPlayground.Datas(id: 1, isVisited: false, start: 2019-06-21 12:13:34 +0000, end: 2019-06-21 12:13:34 +0000), SwiftPlayground.Datas(id: 1, isVisited: false, start: 2019-06-20 12:13:34 +0000, end: 2019-06-21 12:13:34 +0000), SwiftPlayground.Datas(id: 1, isVisited: false, start: 2019-06-19 12:13:34 +0000, end: 2019-06-21 12:13:34 +0000)]]
// Sorted ascending
// [1: [SwiftPlayground.Datas(id: 1, isVisited: false, start: 2019-06-19 12:13:34 +0000, end: 2019-06-21 12:13:34 +0000), SwiftPlayground.Datas(id: 1, isVisited: false, start: 2019-06-20 12:13:34 +0000, end: 2019-06-21 12:13:34 +0000), SwiftPlayground.Datas(id: 1, isVisited: false, start: 2019-06-21 12:13:34 +0000, end: 2019-06-21 12:13:34 +0000)]]
// Try the example in online.swiftplayground.run

You have to sort your array before calling configureCell. So in your viewDidLoad method you should use something like this.

dates.sort(by: {(p1: Datas, p2: Datas) -> Bool in
        return p1.start > p2.start
    })

After this you are good to go.

Unfortunately sorting a dictionary is harder to achieve.

It is discussed in this question .

You simply need to use a combination of forEach(_:) and sorted(_:) to get that working, ie

var todaysTimes = [Int:[Datas]]()
todaysTimes.forEach { (key,value) in
    let newValue = value.sorted(by: { $0.start < $1.start }) //will sort in ascending order
    todaysTimes[key] = newValue
}

In case you want to sort it in descending order , you just using > instead of < , ie

let newValue = value.sorted(by: { $0.start > $1.start })
