I have a NSMutableArray containing UIButtons. I have given each of the buttons a unique tag. The buttons will be added to the array in random order, but i want to later sort it so that the buttons are in ascending order with respect to their tags.
Thanks for the help!
Yeap.
Try this:
NSSortDescriptor *ascendingSort = [[NSSortDescriptor alloc] initWithKey:@"tag" ascending:YES];
NSSortDescriptor *descendingSort = [[NSSortDescriptor alloc] initWithKey:@"tag" ascending:NO];
NSArray *sortedArray = [someArray sortedArrayUsingDescriptors:[NSArray arrayWithObject:ascendingSort]];
You can use the NSSortDescriptor to sort a NSArray.
NSArray *unsortedArray = ...
NSArray *sortedArray = [unsortedArray sortedArrayUsingDescriptors:[NSArray arrayWithObject:[NSSortDescriptor sortDescriptorWithKey:@"tag" ascending:YES]]];
There are multiple "sortedArrayUsing..." functions. Use the one that seems to fit your needs the best.
(BTW, remember that, since NSMutableArray is a subclass of NSArray, all of the methods of NSArray apply to NSMutableArray as well.)
