I have a class (from NSObject
) that contains:
NSString name
int position
float speed
I then create an array (NSMutableArray
) of objects from this class. I would like to then sort the array by the 'speed' value, which is a float
.
I initially has the float
value as an NSNumber
and the int
as NSInteger
, and I was successfully sorting with:
[myMutableArray sortUsingFunction:compareSelector context:@selector(position)];
where myMutableArray
is my array of objects.
here is the function:
static int compareSelector(id p1, id p2, void *context) {
SEL methodSelector = (SEL)context;
id value1 = [p1 performSelector:methodSelector];
id value2 = [p2 performSelector:methodSelector];
return [value1 compare:value2];
}
Now that I am using int
instead of NSInteger
, the above code does not work. Is there a more low-level command that I should be using to execute the sort? Thank!
