How to sort a NSArray alphabetically?

Question

How can I sort an array filled with [UIFont familyNames] into alphabetical order?

Answer 1

Use below code for sorting in alphabetical order:

    NSArray *unsortedStrings = @[@"Verdana", @"MS San Serif", @"Times New Roman",@"Chalkduster",@"Impact"];

    NSArray *sortedStrings =
    [unsortedStrings sortedArrayUsingSelector:@selector(compare:)];

    NSLog(@"Unsorted Array : %@",unsortedStrings);        
    NSLog(@"Sorted Array : %@",sortedStrings);

Below is console log :

2015-04-02 16:17:50.614 ToDoList[2133:100512] Unsorted Array : (
    Verdana,
    "MS San Serif",
    "Times New Roman",
    Chalkduster,
    Impact
)

    Chalkduster,
    Impact,
