参见NSMutableArray方法sortUsingFunction:context:

您将需要设置一个compare函数，该函数接受两个对象(类型为Person，因为您正在比较两个Person对象)和一个上下文参数。

这两个对象只是Person的实例。第三个对象是字符串，例如@"birthDate"。

这个函数返回一个NSComparisonResult:如果是PersonA，则返回NSOrderedAscending。birthDate < person .birthDate。它将返回nsordereddescent如果PersonA。person .birthDate。最后，它将返回NSOrderedSame如果PersonA。birthDate == person .birthDate。

这是粗略的伪代码;你需要充实一个日期“更少”、“更多”或“等于”另一个日期的含义(比如比较从epoch开始的秒数等):

NSComparisonResult compare(Person *firstPerson, Person *secondPerson, void *context) {
  if ([firstPerson birthDate] < [secondPerson birthDate])
    return NSOrderedAscending;
  else if ([firstPerson birthDate] > [secondPerson birthDate])
    return NSOrderedDescending;
  else 
    return NSOrderedSame;
}

如果你想要一些更紧凑的东西，你可以使用三元运算符:

NSComparisonResult compare(Person *firstPerson, Person *secondPerson, void *context) {
  return ([firstPerson birthDate] < [secondPerson birthDate]) ? NSOrderedAscending : ([firstPerson birthDate] > [secondPerson birthDate]) ? NSOrderedDescending : NSOrderedSame;
}

内联可能会加快这一点，如果你这样做了很多。

我什么都试过了，但这个对我有用。在一个类中，我有另一个名为“crimeScene”的类，并希望通过“crimeScene”的属性进行排序。

这就像一个魅力:

NSSortDescriptor *sorter = [[NSSortDescriptor alloc] initWithKey:@"crimeScene.distance" ascending:YES];
[self.arrAnnotations sortUsingDescriptors:[NSArray arrayWithObject:sorter]];

iOS 4块将拯救你:)

featuresArray = [[unsortedFeaturesArray sortedArrayUsingComparator: ^(id a, id b)  
{
    DMSeatFeature *first = ( DMSeatFeature* ) a;
    DMSeatFeature *second = ( DMSeatFeature* ) b;

    if ( first.quality == second.quality )
        return NSOrderedSame;
    else
    {
        if ( eSeatQualityGreen  == m_seatQuality || eSeatQualityYellowGreen == m_seatQuality || eSeatQualityDefault  == m_seatQuality )
        {
            if ( first.quality < second.quality )
                return NSOrderedAscending;
            else
                return NSOrderedDescending;
        }
        else // eSeatQualityRed || eSeatQualityYellow
        {
            if ( first.quality > second.quality )
                return NSOrderedAscending;
            else
                return NSOrderedDescending;
        } 
    }
}] retain];

http://sokol8.blogspot.com/2011/04/sorting-nsarray-with-blocks.html一点描述

-(NSMutableArray*) sortArray:(NSMutableArray *)toBeSorted 
{
  NSArray *sortedArray;
  sortedArray = [toBeSorted sortedArrayUsingComparator:^NSComparisonResult(id a, id b) 
  {
    return [a compare:b];
 }];
 return [sortedArray mutableCopy];
}

我只是根据自定义需求做了多级排序。

//对值排序

    [arrItem sortUsingComparator:^NSComparisonResult (id a, id b){

    ItemDetail * itemA = (ItemDetail*)a;
    ItemDetail* itemB =(ItemDetail*)b;

    //item price are same
    if (itemA.m_price.m_selling== itemB.m_price.m_selling) {

        NSComparisonResult result=  [itemA.m_itemName compare:itemB.m_itemName];

        //if item names are same, then monogramminginfo has to come before the non monograme item
        if (result==NSOrderedSame) {

            if (itemA.m_monogrammingInfo) {
                return NSOrderedAscending;
            }else{
                return NSOrderedDescending;
            }
        }
        return result;
    }

    //asscending order
    return itemA.m_price.m_selling > itemB.m_price.m_selling;
}];

像这样使用嵌套对象，

NSSortDescriptor * sortDescriptor = [[NSSortDescriptor alloc] initWithKey:@"lastRoute.to.lastname" ascending:YES selector:@selector(caseInsensitiveCompare:)];
NSMutableArray *sortedPackages = [[NSMutableArray alloc]initWithArray:[packages sortedArrayUsingDescriptors:@[sortDescriptor]]];

lastRoute是一个对象，该对象保存着to对象，to对象保存着lastname字符串值。
