I have an array of class A objects, let it be detailsArray.

Class A has date, name as properties.

Can any one suggest a good method to sort this array based on date?

Any help is greatly appreciated.....

NSSortDescriptor *sortDescriptor = [NSSortDescriptor sortDescriptorWithKey:@"date" ascending:NO];
NSArray *sortedArray = [detailsArray sortedArrayUsingDescriptors:@[sortDescriptor]];
