Answer 1

NSSortDescriptor *descriptor = [[NSSortDescriptor alloc] initWithKey:@"Object.Name" ascending:YES];
[items sortUsingDescriptors:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:descriptor,nil]];

Also,

NSArray *ordered = [myDictionary keysSortedByValueUsingComparator:^NSComparisonResult(id obj1, id obj2){
    return [obj1.name compare:obj2.name];
}];

Answer 2

Try this,

NSArray *sortedKeys = [dict keysSortedByValueUsingComparator: ^(id obj1, id obj2) {

     return (NSComparisonResult)[obj1.name compare:obj2.name];;
}];

You will get all the keys in sortedKeys array, sorted in the order of object.name property. You can use these keys to get the values from dictionary as [dict valueForKey:[sortedKeys objectAtIndex:i]]. For more details please check apple documentation.
