NSSortdescriptor, finding the path to the key I wish to use for sorting.
- by RickiG
Hi
I am using an NSSortdescriptor to sort a collection of NSArrays, I then came across a case where the particular NSArray to be sorted contains an NSDictionary who contains an NSDictionary.
I would like to sort from the string paired with a key in the last dictionary.
This is how I would reference the string:
NSDictionary *productDict = [MyArray objectAtIndex:index];
NSString *dealerName = [[productDict objectForKey:@"dealer"] objectForKey:@"name"];
How would I use the dealerName in my NSSortdescriptor to sort the array?
NSSortDescriptor * sortDesc = [[NSSortDescriptor alloc] initWithKey:/* ? */ ascending:YES];
sortedDealerArray = [value sortedArrayUsingDescriptors:sortDesc];
[sortDesc release];
Hope someone could help me a bit with how I go about sorting according to keys inside objects inside other objects:)
Thank you.
