To get all the nodes in the tree I do a depth-first search (10.5 only). Add the first method in an NSTreeNode category and the second to a category on NSTreeController.

// NSTreeNode_Extensions
- (NSArray *)descendants;
{
        NSMutableArray *array = [NSMutableArray array];
        for (NSTreeNode *item in [self childNodes]) {
                [array addObject:item];
                if (![item isLeaf])
                        [array addObjectsFromArray:[item descendants]];
        }
        return [[array copy] autorelease];
}

// NSTreeController_Extensions
- (NSArray *)flattenedNodes;
{
        NSMutableArray *array = [NSMutableArray array];
        for (NSTreeNode *node in [self rootNodes]) {
                [array addObject:node];
                if (![[node valueForKey:[self leafKeyPath]] boolValue])
                        [array addObjectsFromArray:[node 
valueForKey:@"descendants"]];
        }
        return [[array copy] autorelease];      
}

You then have an NSArray with all of the NSTreeNodes and can just call [treeNodesArray valueForKey:@"representedObject"] to get you model objects, and then can do whatever you like. If you're using Core Data, can't you fetch all your managed objects and determine the one with the max vaule?

I'd like to find the largest integer value of one of my entity fields, stored in an NSTreeController. Is this possible? I'm trying to use "@max", but getting back null on every variant:

NSNumber* maxVal = [mItemsController valueForKeyPath: @"@max.number"];

I also tried with "arrangedOBjects".

I can't even figure out how to manually iterate the objects. Is there a way?
