Question

I am storing data in Sqlite Database along with the date of insertion. The date is also stored in the sqlite as String format. Is it possible to retrieve the data with sorting Date. I doubt about this, since Date is also storing as string. If this is not possible by querying, is there any way to sort NSDate.

What is the issue of down vote for this question. Because of this I am not able to post questions. Please remove the down vote. Someone who understood my question had already replied. If no one shouldn’t understand this question, then why Omar Abdelhafith answered for this question. That idea also helped me.

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

What comes to my mind now, is to convert all string data to Time Interval since 1970
This way time and date are easier to deal with since they are integers
Then you could do something like

   sortDesc = [[NSSortDescriptor alloc] initWithKey:@"title" ascending:YES];
    [array sortUsingDescriptors:[NSArray arrayWithObject:sortDesc]];
