我想做的事情似乎很简单，但我在网上找不到任何答案。我有一个对象的NSMutableArray，假设它们是Person对象。我想对NSMutableArray按Person排序。birthDate是一个NSDate。
我认为这与这个方法有关:
NSArray *sortedArray = [drinkDetails sortedArrayUsingSelector:@selector(???)];
在Java中，我将使我的对象实现Comparable，或使用集合。使用内联自定义比较器排序…在Objective-C中怎么做呢?
当前回答
let sortedUsers = users.sorted {
$0.firstName < $1.firstName
}

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];

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/
-(NSMutableArray*) sortArray:(NSMutableArray *)toBeSorted
{
NSArray *sortedArray;
sortedArray = [toBeSorted sortedArrayUsingComparator:^NSComparisonResult(id a, id b)
{
return [a compare:b];
}];
return [sortedArray mutableCopy];
}
NSSortDescriptor *sortDescriptor;
sortDescriptor = [[[NSSortDescriptor alloc] initWithKey:@"birthDate" ascending:YES] autorelease];
NSArray *sortDescriptors = [NSArray arrayWithObject:sortDescriptor];
NSArray *sortedArray;
sortedArray = [drinkDetails sortedArrayUsingDescriptors:sortDescriptors];
谢谢，运行正常…
我已经创建了一个小型的类别方法库，称为Linq to ObjectiveC，这使得这类事情更加容易。使用带有键选择器的sort方法，您可以按birthDate进行排序，如下所示:
NSArray* sortedByBirthDate = [input sort:^id(id person) {
return [person birthDate];
}]
