几乎每个人都给出了如何直接，让我来展示一下演变:

你可以使用Array的实例方法:

// general form of closure
images.sortInPlace({ (image1: imageFile, image2: imageFile) -> Bool in return image1.fileID > image2.fileID })

// types of closure's parameters and return value can be inferred by Swift, so they are omitted along with the return arrow (->)
images.sortInPlace({ image1, image2 in return image1.fileID > image2.fileID })

// Single-expression closures can implicitly return the result of their single expression by omitting the "return" keyword
images.sortInPlace({ image1, image2 in image1.fileID > image2.fileID })

// closure's argument list along with "in" keyword can be omitted, $0, $1, $2, and so on are used to refer the closure's first, second, third arguments and so on
images.sortInPlace({ $0.fileID > $1.fileID })

// the simplification of the closure is the same
images = images.sort({ (image1: imageFile, image2: imageFile) -> Bool in return image1.fileID > image2.fileID })
images = images.sort({ image1, image2 in return image1.fileID > image2.fileID })
images = images.sort({ image1, image2 in image1.fileID > image2.fileID })
images = images.sort({ $0.fileID > $1.fileID })

如果你要在多个地方对这个数组排序，让你的数组类型Comparable是有意义的。

class MyImageType: Comparable, Printable {
    var fileID: Int

    // For Printable
    var description: String {
        get {
            return "ID: \(fileID)"
        }
    }

    init(fileID: Int) {
        self.fileID = fileID
    }
}

// For Comparable
func <(left: MyImageType, right: MyImageType) -> Bool {
    return left.fileID < right.fileID
}

// For Comparable
func ==(left: MyImageType, right: MyImageType) -> Bool {
    return left.fileID == right.fileID
}

let one = MyImageType(fileID: 1)
let two = MyImageType(fileID: 2)
let twoA = MyImageType(fileID: 2)
let three = MyImageType(fileID: 3)

let a1 = [one, three, two]

// return a sorted array
println(sorted(a1)) // "[ID: 1, ID: 2, ID: 3]"

var a2 = [two, one, twoA, three]

// sort the array 'in place'
sort(&a2)
println(a2) // "[ID: 1, ID: 2, ID: 2, ID: 3]"

如果你不使用自定义对象，而是使用值类型来实现可比协议(Int, String等)，你可以简单地这样做:

myArray.sort(>) //sort descending order

一个例子:

struct MyStruct: Comparable {
    var name = "Untitled"
}

func <(lhs: MyStruct, rhs: MyStruct) -> Bool {
    return lhs.name < rhs.name
}
// Implementation of == required by Equatable
func ==(lhs: MyStruct, rhs: MyStruct) -> Bool {
    return lhs.name == rhs.name
}

let value1 = MyStruct()
var value2 = MyStruct()

value2.name = "A New Name"

var anArray:[MyStruct] = []
anArray.append(value1)
anArray.append(value2)

anArray.sort(>) // This will sort the array in descending order

两个选择

1)使用sortInPlace对原始数组排序

self.assignments.sortInPlace({ $0.order < $1.order })
self.printAssignments(assignments)

2)使用替代数组存储有序数组

var assignmentsO = [Assignment] ()
assignmentsO = self.assignments.sort({ $0.order < $1.order })
self.printAssignments(assignmentsO)

在Swift 3.0中

images.sort(by: { (first: imageFile, second: imageFile) -> Bool in
    first. fileID < second. fileID
})
