Can i sort the NSDictionary on basis of key in Objective-C?
You can sort the keys and then create an NSMutableArray
by iterating over them.
NSArray *sortedKeys = [[dict allKeys] sortedArrayUsingSelector: @selector(compare:)];NSMutableArray *sortedValues = [NSMutableArray array];for (NSString *key in sortedKeys) [sortedValues addObject: [dict objectForKey: key]];
It is much simpler to use objectsForKeys:notFoundMarker:
for that
NSDictionary *yourDictionary;NSArray *sortedKeys = [yourDictionary.allKeys sortedArrayUsingDescriptors:@[[NSSortDescriptor sortDescriptorWithKey:@"self" ascending:YES]]];// As we using same keys from dictionary, we can put any non-nil value for the notFoundMarker, because it will never usedNSArray *sortedValues = [yourDictionary objectsForKeys:sortedKeys notFoundMarker:@""];
