Sort Descriptor not working in ios - ios

Question

i used the Sort Descriptor to Sort the NSMutableArray By one & multiple Values,First i tried by to sort By Price,it sort in some other Order here is my code help me,
My
i create the Dictionary by below code and added to the NSMutableArray
for(int i=0;i<[priceArray count];i++)
{
cellDict=[[NSMutableDictionary alloc]init];
[cellDict setObject:nameArray[i] forKey:#"Name"];
[cellDict setObject:splPriceArray[i] forKey:#"Percentage"];
[cellDict setObject:priceArray[i] forKey:#"Price"];
[resultArray addObject:cellDict];
}
// To Sort in Ascending Order
NSSortDescriptor *sort =[[NSSortDescriptor alloc] initWithKey:#"Price" ascending:YES];
NSArray *descriptors = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:sort, nil];
NSArray *sortedArray=[resultArray sortedArrayUsingDescriptors:descriptors];
NSLog(#"Result %# Sorted arr %#",resultArray, sortedArray);
And Output is:
Result (
{
Name = "Black Eyed Peas";
Percentage = 0;
Price = 80;
},
{
Name = "Black Gram";
Percentage = 0;
Price = 56;
},
{
Name = "Channa White";
Percentage = 0;
Price = 100;
},
{
Name = "Double Beans";
Percentage = 0;
Price = 95;
},
{
Name = "Gram Dall";
Percentage = 0;
Price = 100;
},
{
Name = "Green Moong Dal";
Percentage = 0;
Price = 150;
},
{
Name = "Ground Nut";
Percentage = 0;
Price = 140;
},
{
Name = "Moong Dal";
Percentage = 0;
Price = 75;
},
{
Name = "Orid Dal";
Percentage = 0;
Price = 100;
},
{
Name = "Toor Dal";
Percentage = 0;
Price = 150;
}
) Sorted arr (
{
Name = "Channa White";
Percentage = 0;
Price = 100;
},
{
Name = "Gram Dall";
Percentage = 0;
Price = 100;
},
{
Name = "Orid Dal";
Percentage = 0;
Price = 100;
},
{
Name = "Ground Nut";
Percentage = 0;
Price = 140;
},
{
Name = "Green Moong Dal";
Percentage = 0;
Price = 150;
},
{
Name = "Toor Dal";
Percentage = 0;
Price = 150;
},
{
Name = "Black Gram";
Percentage = 0;
Price = 56;
},
{
Name = "Moong Dal";
Percentage = 0;
Price = 75;
},
{
Name = "Black Eyed Peas";
Percentage = 0;
Price = 80;
},
{
Name = "Double Beans";
Percentage = 0;
Price = 95;
}
)
Here The Sorted Array Sorting in some other Order I want to sort this in Ascending order by price.

It's unclear what your test data looks like - but the following snippet works as expected
NSArray *priceArray = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:#(74),#(100),#(100),#(130), nil];
NSArray *nameArray = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:#"Yva",#"Hallo", #"Adam", #"Xavier", nil];
NSMutableArray *resultArray = [NSMutableArray new];
for(int i=0;i<[priceArray count];i++)
{
NSMutableDictionary *cellDict=[[NSMutableDictionary alloc]init];
[cellDict setObject:nameArray[i] forKey:#"Name"];
[cellDict setObject:priceArray[i] forKey:#"Percentage"];
[cellDict setObject:priceArray[i] forKey:#"Price"];
[resultArray addObject:cellDict];
}
// Sort by Name
//NSSortDescriptor *sort =[[NSSortDescriptor alloc] initWithKey:#"Price" ascending:YES];
// Sort by Name
NSSortDescriptor *sort =[[NSSortDescriptor alloc] initWithKey:#"Name" ascending:YES selector:#selector(localizedCaseInsensitiveCompare:)];
NSArray *descriptors = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:sort, nil];
NSArray *sortedArray=[resultArray sortedArrayUsingDescriptors:descriptors];
NSLog(#"Result %# Sorted arr %#",resultArray, sortedArray);
Result:
2015-07-11 12:54:54.358 ret[10480:162783] Result (
{
Name = Yva;
Percentage = 74;
Price = 74;
},
{
Name = Hallo;
Percentage = 100;
Price = 100;
},
{
Name = Adam;
Percentage = 100;
Price = 100;
},
{
Name = Xavier;
Percentage = 130;
Price = 130;
}
) Sorted arr (
{
Name = Adam;
Percentage = 100;
Price = 100;
},
{
Name = Hallo;
Percentage = 100;
Price = 100;
},
{
Name = Xavier;
Percentage = 130;
Price = 130;
},
{
Name = Yva;
Percentage = 74;
Price = 74;
}
)
