I have an array of type "Restaurant" which has an NSSet of "Rating." Rating has an ID and a value.
I want to sort the array of Restaurant's by rating with an ID of 01, from high to low.
Something like the following, but how do I use the predicate and sort descriptor together on originalArray?
NSPredicate *predicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"Rating.rating_id=%d", ratingID];
NSSortDescriptor *descriptor = [NSSortDescriptor sortDescriptorWithKey:@"currentValue" ascending:YES];
NSArray *sorted = [[originalArray allObjects] sortedArrayUsingDescriptors:[NSArray arrayWithObject:descriptor]];
You can sort the array using a NSComparator
block.
NSPredicate *predicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"rating_id = %d", ratingID];
NSArray *sorted = [array sortedArrayUsingComparator:^NSComparisonResult(id obj1, id obj2) {
int value1 = [[[[obj1 ratings] filteredSetUsingPredicate:predicate] anyObject] currentValue];
int value2 = [[[[obj2 ratings] filteredSetUsingPredicate:predicate] anyObject] currentValue];
if ( value1 < value2 )
return NSOrderedAscending;
if ( value1 > value2 )
return NSOrderedDescending;
return NSOrderedSame;
}];
