Sorting NSMutableArray Capital Matters

StefanL · 03-05-2010, 01:23 PM

Hi Folks,

I am trying to sort a NSMutableArray with

Code:

[masterList sortUsingSelector:@selector(compare:)];

see what I get as result:

Here I have written Bianca Lehrner with a l

2010-03-05 19:18:04.989 myNetwork[15548:207] masterSorted: (
"Ant, Adam",
"Stremnitzer, Michael",
"lehrner, bianca",
"lehrner, felicitas",
"lehrner, laetitia",
"lehrner, stefan"
)

and here I have written Bianca Lehrner

2010-03-05 19:20:25.851 myNetwork[15562:207] masterSorted: (
"Ant, Adam",
"Lehrner, bianca",
"Stremnitzer, Michael",
"lehrner, felicitas",
"lehrner, laetitia",
"lehrner, stefan"
)

If Lehrner has a capital letter in the beginning, then the array is sorted as expected - that means Capital goes for "small" character... Can this be?

Thanks for your feedback,

Stefan

You can do a case insensitive compare if that's what you want?

Code:

[masterList sortUsingSelector:@selector(localizedCaseInsensitiveCompare:)];
