I'm pretty sure this one is obvious but I'm just spinning around in
circles in the docs here and I can't seem to find out how to do it...
I have a basic NSTableView binding setup in place (NSTableView's
columns bound to an NSArrayController, which is bound to an
NSMutableArray ...)
I'm trying to keep things simple so lets say my NSMutableArray is
filled with custom "Person" objects that have only 2 properties:
FirstName and LastName (the 2 columns of my NSTableView)...
Now, without doing anything (basically, just by setting my bindings
correctly in IB) I can sort the 2 columns (FirstName and LastName) by
clicking their headers, it works just fine (I'm guessing because
"Create Sort Descriptors" is checked in IB)...
Now the thing is, the NSMutableArray is populated by an XML file that
I am opening and parsing (again, no problems with that part)... I
parse the XML file, which contains First names and Lastnames, create
and add my "Person" objects to my array and the data is added to my
NSTableView automatically....
What I need to do then, is to sort my tableview by FirstName
automatically and then disable sorting altogether....
Basically, I am only opening XML files, the user is not allowed to add
new rows/remove rows/etc. in the table, I only want to show the data,
ordered alphabetically ....
Now I think I can "disable" sorting by unchecking "Create Sort
Descriptors" in IB for my 2 columns, but I can't figure out how to
sort my table view programatically...
(Also, while I'm on the subject, does sorting the NSArrayController's
arrangedObjects also sorts the NSMutableArray to which my
NSArrayController is bound to??)
Thanks,
