使用自定义对象对NSArray进行排序

Question

在我的Xcode项目中，我有以下类：

地址

@interface LDAddress : NSObject{
    NSString *street;
    NSString *zip;
    NSString *city;
    float latitude;
    float longitude;
}

@property (nonatomic, retain) NSString *street;
@property (nonatomic, retain) NSString *zip;
@property (nonatomic, retain) NSString *city;
@property (readwrite, assign, nonatomic) float latitude;
@property (readwrite, assign, nonatomic) float longitude;

@end

地点

@interface LDLocation : NSObject{
    int locationId;
    NSString *name;
    LDAddress *address;
}
@property (readwrite, assign, nonatomic) int locationId;
@property (nonatomic, retain) LDAddress *address;
@property (nonatomic, retain) NSString *name;

@end

在UITableViewController的子类中，有一个NSArray包含许多LDLocations的未排序对象。 现在，我想根据LDAddress的属性城市对NSArray的对象进行升序排序。

如何使用NSSortDescriptor对数组进行排序？ 我尝试了以下方法，但在排序数组时应用程序转储。

NSSortDescriptor *sortDescriptor = [[NSSortDescriptor alloc] initWithKey:@"Address.city" ascending:YES];
[_locations sortedArrayUsingDescriptors:@[sortDescriptor]];

Answer 1

尝试将第一个键设为小写。

NSSortDescriptor *sortDescriptor = [[NSSortDescriptor alloc] initWithKey:@"address.city" ascending:YES];

Answer 2

您还可以使用块对数组进行排序：

    NSArray *sortedLocations = [_locations sortedArrayUsingComparator: ^(LDAddress *a1, LDAddress *a2) {
        return [a1.city compare:a2.city];
    }];

Answer 3

这将允许使用多种类型进行排序。 就像我们需要根据时间对电影进行排序，如果时间相等，则需要按名称排序。

NSArray *sortedArray = [childrenArray sortedArrayUsingComparator:^NSComparisonResult(id a, id b) {
        NSNumber *first = [NSNumber numberWithLong:[(Movie*)a timeInMillis]];
        NSNumber *second = [NSNumber numberWithLong:[(Movie*)b timeInMillis]];
        NSComparisonResult result =  [first compare:second];
        if(result == NSOrderedSame){
            result = [((NSString*)[(Movie*)a name] ) compare:((NSString*)[(Movie*)b name])];
        }
        return  result;
    }];

Answer 4

-(NSArray*)sortedWidgetList:(NSArray*)widgetList
{
    NSSortDescriptor *firstDescriptor = [[NSSortDescriptor alloc] initWithKey:@"itemNum" ascending:YES];

    NSArray *sortDescriptors = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:firstDescriptor, nil];

    NSArray *sortedArray = [widgetList sortedArrayUsingDescriptors:sortDescriptors];

    return sortedArray;
}
