Default Ordering NSMutableArray

Hi all, my first post

Im having difficulties ordering my array.
My array contains 5 objects, the objects in the array are (in this order): (0,1,2,3,4)

Now i want to change the order to (2,3,4,0,1).

I can write my own function, but is there a function that does that?

Thanks!!

The order you want, does not make any sense.
I don't think you can order that with any standard sorting methods.

Why don't you just insert then in the order you want them to be.

The NSArray and NSMutableArray classes include various sort methods. The NSArray sort methods return a new array sorted into the order you want. NSMutableArray includes methods that will sort an existing array.

Take a look at the overview sections of the XCode docs NSArray and NAMutableArray for more info. The NSArray sort methods all start with "sortedArray..." The NSMutableArray sort methods start with "sortUsing..." or "sortWith..."
