使用NSComparator进行排序

如果我们想对自定义对象进行排序，我们需要提供NSComparator，它用于比较自定义对象。该块返回一个NSComparisonResult值来表示两个对象的排序。为了对整个数组进行排序，NSComparator的用法如下。

NSArray *sortedArray = [employeesArray sortedArrayUsingComparator:^NSComparisonResult(Employee *e1, Employee *e2){
    return [e1.firstname compare:e2.firstname];    
}];

使用NSSortDescriptor进行排序 让我们假设，作为一个例子，我们有一个包含自定义类实例的数组，Employee具有属性firstname, lastname和age。下面的例子说明了如何创建一个NSSortDescriptor，该NSSortDescriptor可用于按年龄键升序对数组内容进行排序。

NSSortDescriptor *ageDescriptor = [[NSSortDescriptor alloc] initWithKey:@"age" ascending:YES];
NSArray *sortDescriptors = @[ageDescriptor];
NSArray *sortedArray = [employeesArray sortedArrayUsingDescriptors:sortDescriptors];

使用自定义比较进行排序 名称是字符串，当您对字符串进行排序以呈现给用户时，您应该始终使用本地化比较。通常您还希望执行不区分大小写的比较。下面是一个示例，使用(localizedStandardCompare:)按姓氏和名字对数组进行排序。

NSSortDescriptor *lastNameDescriptor = [[NSSortDescriptor alloc]
              initWithKey:@"lastName" ascending:YES selector:@selector(localizedStandardCompare:)];
NSSortDescriptor * firstNameDescriptor = [[NSSortDescriptor alloc]
              initWithKey:@"firstName" ascending:YES selector:@selector(localizedStandardCompare:)];
NSArray *sortDescriptors = @[lastNameDescriptor, firstNameDescriptor];
NSArray *sortedArray = [employeesArray sortedArrayUsingDescriptors:sortDescriptors];

如需参考及详细讨论，请参考: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/SortDescriptors/Articles/Creating.html http://www.ios-blog.co.uk/tutorials/objective-c/how-to-sort-nsarray-with-custom-objects/

使用NSSortDescriptor对自定义对象的NSMutableArray进行排序

 NSSortDescriptor *sortingDescriptor;
 sortingDescriptor = [[NSSortDescriptor alloc] initWithKey:@"birthDate"
                                       ascending:YES];
 NSArray *sortArray = [drinkDetails sortedArrayUsingDescriptors:@[sortDescriptor]];

Swift版本:5.1

如果您有一个自定义结构或类，并希望对它们进行任意排序，您应该调用sort()，使用一个尾随闭包对指定的字段进行排序。下面是一个使用自定义结构数组的例子，该数组根据特定的属性进行排序:

    struct User {
        var firstName: String
    }

    var users = [
        User(firstName: "Jemima"),
        User(firstName: "Peter"),
        User(firstName: "David"),
        User(firstName: "Kelly"),
        User(firstName: "Isabella")
    ]

    users.sort {
        $0.firstName < $1.firstName
    }

如果你想返回一个排序后的数组，而不是原地排序，可以像这样使用sorted():

    let sortedUsers = users.sorted {
        $0.firstName < $1.firstName
    }

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;
}];

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]];
