I am confused with sorting NsArray as am very new in iOS development, I have a custom array, I want to sort my NsArray which has the value as below as group by callType and numberId:
{
callID = 1;
callType = 4;
dateTime = "2013-10-11 14:42:10 +0000";
durationOfCall = "00:00:27";
numberCalled = 91xxxxxxxxx;
numberId = 8;
},
{
callID = 1;
callType = 4;
dateTime = "2013-10-11 14:24:19 +0000";
durationOfCall = "00:00:15";
numberCalled = 91xxxxxxxxx;
numberId = 9;
},
{
callID = 1;
callType = 4;
dateTime = "2013-10-11 13:59:18 +0000";
durationOfCall = "00:00:11";
numberCalled = 91xxxxxxxxx;
numberId = 8;
},
{
callID = 1;
callType = 4;
dateTime = "2013-10-11 13:57:55 +0000";
durationOfCall = "00:00:09";
numberCalled = 91xxxxxxxxx;
numberId = 8;
},
{
callID = 1;
callType = 4;
dateTime = "2013-10-11 13:56:02 +0000";
durationOfCall = "00:00:12";
numberCalled = 91xxxxxxxxx;
numberId = 8;
},
{
callID = 1;
callType = 4;
dateTime = "2013-10-11 13:55:41 +0000";
durationOfCall = "00:00:00";
numberCalled = 91xxxxxxxxx;
numberId = 8;
}
)
and the result should be something like where i get the count in each group
{
count = 4 // number of
callID = 1;
callType = 4;
dateTime = "2013-10-11 14:42:10 +0000";
durationOfCall = "00:00:27";
numberCalled = 91xxxxxxxxx;
numberId = 8;
},
{
count = 1 // number of
callID = 1;
callType = 4;
dateTime = "2013-10-11 14:24:19 +0000";
durationOfCall = "00:00:27";
numberCalled = 91xxxxxxxxx;
numberId = 9;
}
}
Here is my custom class for above
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#interface RecentCallsModel : NSObject
#property (nonatomic, retain) NSNumber *callID; // Integer 32
#property (nonatomic, retain) NSNumber *callType; // Integer32
#property (nonatomic, retain) NSString *numberId; // Either phone number or the contact id
#property (nonatomic, retain) NSDate *dateTime; //Date and time
#property (nonatomic, retain) NSString *durationOfCall;
#property (nonatomic, retain) NSString *numberCalled;
#end

Answer 1

it will work......
NSArray *sortedArray;
sortedArray = [array sortedArrayUsingComparator:^NSComparisonResult(id a, id b)
{
NSNumber *firstCallType = [(RecentCallsModel*)a CallType];
NSNumber *secondCallType = [(RecentCallsModel*)b CallType];
NSNumber *firstNumberID = [(RecentCallsModel*)a NumberID];
NSNumber *second NumberID = [(RecentCallsModel*)b NumberID];
if([firstCallType compare:secondCallType]==NSOrderedSame)
{
if([firstNumberID compare:secondNumberID]==NSOrderedSame)
{
//count logic
}
else
return [firstNumberID compare:secondNumberID];
}
else
return [firstCallType compare:secondCallType];
}];
