How to sort an array from multiple textfields with one property - swift

Question

I was looking for an answer for this question but I couldn't find anything. I'm new in swift programming and also in stackoverflow, so I hope anyone can help me.
I try to make an app with an "EditViewController" which is there with multiple textfields for name, prename, etc.
I'm able to save this "phonebook" entries, but I'm not able to sort the array by the property name.
The editing interface is only this code:
import UIKit
class EditViewController: UIViewController {
#IBOutlet weak var vornameTextField: UITextField!
#IBOutlet weak var nameTextField: UITextField!
#IBOutlet weak var adresseTextField: UITextField!
#IBOutlet weak var hausnummerTextField: UITextField!
#IBOutlet weak var plzTextField: UITextField!
#IBOutlet weak var ortTextField: UITextField!
#IBOutlet weak var telefonnummerTextField: UITextField!
#IBOutlet weak var berufTextField: UITextField!
override func viewDidLoad()
{
super.viewDidLoad()
}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning()
{
super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
}
}
The code for saving the textfields is:
import UIKit
class Telefonbuch: NSObject, NSCoding
{
var name: String!
var vorname: String!
var beruf: String!
var telefonnummer: String!
var adresse: String!
var hausnummer: String!
var plz: String!
var ort: String!
init(name: String, vorname: String, beruf:String, telefonnummer: String, adresse: String, hausnummer: String, plz: String, ort: String)
{
self.name = name
self.vorname = vorname
self.beruf = beruf
self.telefonnummer = telefonnummer
self.adresse = adresse
self.hausnummer = hausnummer
self.plz = plz
self.ort = ort
}
required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
name = aDecoder.decodeObjectForKey("name") as? String
vorname = aDecoder.decodeObjectForKey("vorname") as? String
beruf = aDecoder.decodeObjectForKey("beruf") as? String
telefonnummer = aDecoder.decodeObjectForKey("telefonnummer") as? String
adresse = aDecoder.decodeObjectForKey("adresse") as? String
hausnummer = aDecoder.decodeObjectForKey("hausnummer") as? String
plz = aDecoder.decodeObjectForKey("plz") as? String
ort = aDecoder.decodeObjectForKey("ort") as? String
}
func encodeWithCoder(aCoder: NSCoder) {
aCoder.encodeObject(name, forKey: "name")
aCoder.encodeObject(vorname, forKey: "vorname")
aCoder.encodeObject(beruf, forKey: "beruf")
aCoder.encodeObject(telefonnummer, forKey: "telefonnummer")
aCoder.encodeObject(adresse, forKey: "adresse")
aCoder.encodeObject(hausnummer, forKey: "hausnummer")
aCoder.encodeObject(plz, forKey: "plz")
aCoder.encodeObject(ort, forKey: "ort")
}
static func saveArray(data: [Telefonbuch])
{
if data.count == 0 {return}
if let path = getFilePath() {
NSKeyedArchiver.archiveRootObject(data, toFile: path)
}
}
static func loadArray() -> [Telefonbuch]
{
if let path = getFilePath() {
if let result = NSKeyedUnarchiver.unarchiveObjectWithFile(path) as? [Telefonbuch]
{
return result
}
}
return [Telefonbuch]()
}
private static func getFilePath() -> String?
{
let pfd = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(.DocumentDirectory, .UserDomainMask, true)
if let pfad = pfd.first {
return pfad + "Kontakte.bin"
}else {
return nil
}
}
}
Now I would like to make the tableview, where I display the data, sorted and with header. But I'm not able to sort the [Telefonbuch] Array by property name.
import UIKit
class OverViewController: UIViewController {
#IBOutlet weak var tableView: UITableView!
#IBOutlet weak var addButton: UIBarButtonItem!
#IBOutlet weak var editButton: UINavigationItem!
var kontaktListe = Telefonbuch.loadArray()
override func viewDidLoad()
{
super.viewDidLoad()
tableView.dataSource = self
tableView.reloadData()
}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning()
{
super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
}
#IBAction func addButtonPressed(sender: AnyObject)
{
performSegueWithIdentifier("editSegue", sender: self)
}
#IBAction func returnToMainController(segue: UIStoryboardSegue)
{
if let scr = segue.sourceViewController as? EditViewController
{
let newvorname = scr.vornameTextField.text
let newname = scr.nameTextField.text
let newadresse = scr.adresseTextField.text
let newhausnummer = scr.hausnummerTextField.text
let newpostleitzahl = scr.plzTextField.text
let newort = scr.ortTextField.text
let newtelefonnummer = scr.telefonnummerTextField.text
let newberuf = scr.berufTextField.text
let newKontakt = Telefonbuch(name: newname!, vorname: newvorname!, beruf: newberuf!, telefonnummer: newtelefonnummer!, adresse: newadresse!, hausnummer: newhausnummer!, plz: newpostleitzahl!, ort: newort!)
kontaktListe.insert(newKontakt, atIndex: 0)
Telefonbuch.saveArray(kontaktListe)
tableView.reloadData()
}
}
extension OverViewController: UITableViewDataSource
{
func numberOfSectionsInTableView(tableView: UITableView) -> Int
{
return 3
}
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int
{
return kontaktListe.count
}
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell
{
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("ProtoCell", forIndexPath: indexPath)
let row = indexPath.row
cell.textLabel?.text = kontaktListe[row].name + " " + kontaktListe[row].vorname
cell.detailTextLabel?.text = kontaktListe[row].ort
return cell
}
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, canEditRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> Bool
{
return true
}
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, commitEditingStyle editingStyle: UITableViewCellEditingStyle, forRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath)
{
if editingStyle == .Delete
{
kontaktListe.removeAtIndex(indexPath.row)
tableView.deleteRowsAtIndexPaths([indexPath], withRowAnimation: .Fade)
tableView.reloadData()
}
}
extension OverViewController: UITableViewDelegate
{
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath)
{
performSegueWithIdentifier("detailSegue", sender: self)
}
}
Can anyone help me because I don't find a solution.
Thanks in advance.

You should be able to sort the array with:
kontaktListe.sort({ $0.name > $1.name })
