Sort NSArray with sortedArrayUsingComparator

Question

In Objective-C I can sort an NSArray using this statement:

NSArray *sortedArray = [persons sortedArrayUsingComparator:^NSComparison         


        

Answer 1

So try just write the same with Swift:

var sortedArray:NSArray = 
persons.sortedArrayUsingComparator(){(p1:AnyObject!, p2:AnyObject!) -> NSComparisonResult in

    if (p1 as Person).name > (p2 as Person).name {
       return NSComparisonResult.OrderedDescending
    }
    if (p1 as Person).name < (p2 as Person).name {
        return NSComparisonResult.OrderedAscending
    }
    return NSComparisonResult.OrderedAscending
 }

Test (Playground):

class Person{
  var name:String?
}

var p1:Person = Person()
p1.name = "a"    

var p3:Person = Person()
p3.name = "c"

var p2:Person = Person()
p2.name = "b"

var persons:NSArray = [p1,p3,p2]

var sortedArray:NSArray = persons.sortedArrayUsingComparator(){

    (p1:AnyObject!, p2:AnyObject!) -> NSComparisonResult in

    if (p1 as Person).name > (p2 as Person).name {
       return NSComparisonResult.OrderedDescending
    }
    if (p1 as Person).name < (p2 as Person).name {
        return NSComparisonResult.OrderedAscending
    }
    return NSComparisonResult.OrderedAscending
    }

for item:AnyObject in sortedArray{
    println((item as Person).name)
}

Output:

Optional("a")
Optional("b")
Optional("c")
