Answer 1

您可以使用 sortedArrayUsingFunction:

这是一些示例代码.

NSInteger dateSort(id s1, id s2, void *context)
{
    NSDateFormatter* format = (NSDateFormatter*)context;
    NSDate* d1 = [format dateFromString:s1];
    NSDate* d2 = [format dateFromString:s2];

    return [d1 compare:d2];
}

...

-(void)someObjectiveCMethod
{
    NSDateFormatter* format = [[[NSDateFormatter alloc] init] autorelease];

    // Find theses format codes here:
    // http://unicode.org/reports/tr35/tr35-6.html#Date_Format_Patterns
    //
    [format setDateFormat:@"EEEE, MMMM dd, yyyy"];

    NSArray* myArray = getMyArray();
    NSArray* sortedArray = [myArray sortedArrayUsingFunction:dateSort context:format];
}

NSArray 中有许多这样的排序方法.值得看看那些熟悉它们的人.
