Swift的协议和函数式编程让这变得非常简单，你只需要让你的类符合Comparable协议，实现协议所需的方法，然后使用sorted(by:)高阶函数来创建一个排序的数组，而不需要使用可变数组。

class Person: Comparable {
    var birthDate: NSDate?
    let name: String

    init(name: String) {
        self.name = name
    }

    static func ==(lhs: Person, rhs: Person) -> Bool {
        return lhs.birthDate === rhs.birthDate || lhs.birthDate?.compare(rhs.birthDate as! Date) == .orderedSame
    }

    static func <(lhs: Person, rhs: Person) -> Bool {
        return lhs.birthDate?.compare(rhs.birthDate as! Date) == .orderedAscending
    }

    static func >(lhs: Person, rhs: Person) -> Bool {
        return lhs.birthDate?.compare(rhs.birthDate as! Date) == .orderedDescending
    }

}

let p1 = Person(name: "Sasha")
p1.birthDate = NSDate() 

let p2 = Person(name: "James")
p2.birthDate = NSDate()//he is older by miliseconds

if p1 == p2 {
    print("they are the same") //they are not
}

let persons = [p1, p2]

//sort the array based on who is older
let sortedPersons = persons.sorted(by: {$0 > $1})

//print sasha which is p1
print(persons.first?.name)
//print James which is the "older"
print(sortedPersons.first?.name)

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;
}];

你的Person对象需要实现一个方法，比如compare:它接受另一个Person对象，并根据两个对象之间的关系返回NSComparisonResult。

然后你会调用sortedArrayUsingSelector: with @selector(compare:)，这应该就完成了。

还有其他方法，但据我所知，还没有类似可比性接口的cocoa。使用sortedArrayUsingSelector:可能是最简单的方法。

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

Swift中的数组排序

对于Swifty Person来说，下面是一个非常干净的技术，可以在全球范围内实现上述目标。让我们有一个User类的例子，它有一些属性。

class User: NSObject {
    var id: String?
    var name: String?
    var email: String?
    var createdDate: Date?
}

现在我们有了一个数组，我们需要在createdDate的基础上升序和/或降序排序。因此，让我们添加一个日期比较函数。

class User: NSObject {
    var id: String?
    var name: String?
    var email: String?
    var createdDate: Date?
    func checkForOrder(_ otherUser: User, _ order: ComparisonResult) -> Bool {
        if let myCreatedDate = self.createdDate, let othersCreatedDate = otherUser.createdDate {
            //This line will compare both date with the order that has been passed.
            return myCreatedDate.compare(othersCreatedDate) == order
        }
        return false
    }
}

现在让我们有一个扩展数组为用户。简单地说，让我们为那些只有User对象的数组添加一些方法。

extension Array where Element: User {
    //This method only takes an order type. i.e ComparisonResult.orderedAscending
    func sortUserByDate(_ order: ComparisonResult) -> [User] {
        let sortedArray = self.sorted { (user1, user2) -> Bool in
            return user1.checkForOrder(user2, order)
        }
        return sortedArray
    }
}

升序使用

let sortedArray = someArray.sortUserByDate(.orderedAscending)

降序使用

let sortedArray = someArray.sortUserByDate(.orderedAscending)

同一订单的使用

let sortedArray = someArray.sortUserByDate(.orderedSame)

只有当数组为类型时，上述扩展方法才可访问 [User] || Array<用户> .使用实例

    }

    static func ==(lhs: Person, rhs: Person) -> Bool {
        return lhs.birthDate === rhs.birthDate || lhs.birthDate?.compare(rhs.birthDate as! Date) == .orderedSame
    }

    static func <(lhs: Person, rhs: Person) -> Bool {
        return lhs.birthDate?.compare(rhs.birthDate as! Date) == .orderedAscending
    }

    static func >(lhs: Person, rhs: Person) -> Bool {
        return lhs.birthDate?.compare(rhs.birthDate as! Date) == .orderedDescending
    }

}

let p1 = Person(name: "Sasha")
p1.birthDate = NSDate() 

let p2 = Person(name: "James")
p2.birthDate = NSDate()//he is older by miliseconds

if p1 == p2 {
    print("they are the same") //they are not
}

let persons = [p1, p2]

//sort the array based on who is older
let sortedPersons = persons.sorted(by: {$0 > $1})

//print sasha which is p1
print(persons.first?.name)
//print James which is the "older"
print(sortedPersons.first?.name)
