Answer 1

It's easy to get the ascending order. Follow the bellow steps,,,

Model 1 :

NSSortDescriptor *sortDesc = [NSSortDescriptor sortDescriptorWithKey:@"name" ascending:YES];
sortedArray=[yourArray sortedArrayUsingDescriptors:@[sortDesc]];

If you want the sorting to be case insensitive, you would need to set the descriptor like this,,
Model 2 :

NSSortDescriptor * sortDesc = [NSSortDescriptor sortDescriptorWithKey:@"name" ascending:YES selector:@selector(caseInsensitiveCompare:)]; 
sortedArray=[yourArray sortedArrayUsingDescriptors:@[sortDesc]];
