Swift如何按属性值对自定义对象数组进行排序

本文翻译自：Swift how to sort array of custom objects by property value

lets say we have a custom class named imageFile and this class contains two properties. 可以说我们有一个名为imageFile的自定义类，该类包含两个属性。

class imageFile  {
    var fileName = String()
    var fileID = Int()
}

lots of them stored in Array 其中很多存储在数组中

var images : Array = []

var aImage = imageFile()
aImage.fileName = "image1.png"
aImage.fileID = 101
images.append(aImage)

aImage = imageFile()
aImage.fileName = "image1.png"
aImage.fileID = 202
images.append(aImage)

question is: how can i sort images array by 'fileID' ASC or DESC? 问题是：如何按“ fileID” ASC或DESC对图像数组进行排序？

[ Updated for Swift 3 with sort(by:) ] This, exploiting a trailing closure: [ 更新了Swift 3的sort（by :) ]，利用了尾随的闭包：

images.sorted { $0.fileID < $1.fileID }

where you use < or > depending on ASC or DESC, respectively. 在何处分别使用<或>取决于ASC或DESC。 If you want to modify the images array , then use the following: 如果要修改images数组 ，请使用以下命令：

images.sort { $0.fileID < $1.fileID }

If you are going to do this repeatedly and prefer to define a function, one way is: 如果要重复执行此操作，并且希望定义一个函数，则一种方法是：

func sorterForFileIDASC(this:imageFile, that:imageFile) -> Bool {
  return this.fileID > that.fileID
}

and then use as: 然后用作：

images.sort(by: sorterForFileIDASC)

First, declare your Array as a typed array so that you can call methods when you iterate: 首先，将Array声明为类型化数组，以便在迭代时可以调用方法：

var images : [imageFile] = []

Then you can simply do: 然后，您可以简单地执行以下操作：

Swift 2 迅捷2

images.sorted({ $0.fileID > $1.fileID })

Swift 3 & Swift 4 & Swift 5 雨燕3＆雨燕4＆雨燕5

images.sorted(by: { $0.fileID > $1.fileID })

The example above gives desc sort order 上面的示例给出了desc排序顺序

You can also do something like 您也可以做类似的事情

images = sorted(images) {$0.fileID > $1.fileID}

so your images array will be stored as sorted 因此您的图片数组将按排序存储

If you are going to be sorting this array in more than one place, it may make sense to make your array type Comparable. 如果要在一个以上的地方对该数组进行排序，则使数组类型为Comparable可能有意义。

class MyImageType: Comparable, Printable {
    var fileID: Int

    // For Printable
    var description: String {
        get {
            return "ID: \(fileID)"
        }
    }

    init(fileID: Int) {
        self.fileID = fileID
    }
}

// For Comparable
func <(left: MyImageType, right: MyImageType) -> Bool {
    return left.fileID < right.fileID
}

// For Comparable
func ==(left: MyImageType, right: MyImageType) -> Bool {
    return left.fileID == right.fileID
}

let one = MyImageType(fileID: 1)
let two = MyImageType(fileID: 2)
let twoA = MyImageType(fileID: 2)
let three = MyImageType(fileID: 3)

let a1 = [one, three, two]

// return a sorted array
println(sorted(a1)) // "[ID: 1, ID: 2, ID: 3]"

var a2 = [two, one, twoA, three]

// sort the array 'in place'
sort(&a2)
println(a2) // "[ID: 1, ID: 2, ID: 2, ID: 3]"

Nearly everyone gives how directly, let me show the evolvement: 几乎每个人都给出了直接的方式，让我展示一下演变过程：

you can use the instance methods of Array: 您可以使用Array的实例方法：

// general form of closure
images.sortInPlace({ (image1: imageFile, image2: imageFile) -> Bool in return image1.fileID > image2.fileID })

// types of closure's parameters and return value can be inferred by Swift, so they are omitted along with the return arrow (->)
images.sortInPlace({ image1, image2 in return image1.fileID > image2.fileID })

// Single-expression closures can implicitly return the result of their single expression by omitting the "return" keyword
images.sortInPlace({ image1, image2 in image1.fileID > image2.fileID })

// closure's argument list along with "in" keyword can be omitted, $0, $1, $2, and so on are used to refer the closure's first, second, third arguments and so on
images.sortInPlace({ $0.fileID > $1.fileID })

// the simplification of the closure is the same
images = images.sort({ (image1: imageFile, image2: imageFile) -> Bool in return image1.fileID > image2.fileID })
images = images.sort({ image1, image2 in return image1.fileID > image2.fileID })
images = images.sort({ image1, image2 in image1.fileID > image2.fileID })
images = images.sort({ $0.fileID > $1.fileID })
