You can create a category of NSString and implement your own compare method. In IB you set the selector of the table column to this method.

I forgot about that piece--yes, you will need to implement an
NSEntityDescription subclass for the sort method. If that proves to be
problematic, you can fall back to binding/delegate that you can implement in
your window controller.

Sorting an NSTableView bound to an NSArrayController.
Hello,
I'm writing an application that handles results for a running club.
I have an NSTableView that has columns bound to a CoreData Entity such as
Entries.arrangedObjects.position, position is an NSString that contains numbers
such as @"1" and @"2" or @"" but the position can also be @"DNF" (Did not
finish).
I have a method in the WindowController that sorts the 'Entry' objects and
handles these cases correctly returning an NSArray using:
[array sortUsingComparator:^(id obj1, id obj2)
{
NSComparisonResult r;
r =
return (r);
}];
How can I get my table view to work so that when the user clicks in the Pos.
column I can do my custom sort? at present it is doing an ASCII sort so I get
1, 10, 100, then 2, 20, 200 etc...
I now I need to put a key and sort descriptor in IB but don't know what code I
have to add to the Entity ot WindowController to handle it.
Thanks, regards, Rob.
