Declaration Syntax
C# | Visual Basic | Visual C++ |
public static NSSortDescriptor SortDescriptorWithKeyAscendingSelector( NSString key, bool ascending, IntPtr selector )
Public Shared Function SortDescriptorWithKeyAscendingSelector ( _ key As NSString, _ ascending As Boolean, _ selector As IntPtr _ ) As NSSortDescriptor
public: static NSSortDescriptor^ SortDescriptorWithKeyAscendingSelector( NSString^ key, bool ascending, IntPtr selector )
Parameters
- key (NSString)
- The property key to use when performing a comparison. In the comparison, the property is accessed using key-value coding (see Key-Value Coding Programming Guide).
- ascending (Boolean)
- YES if the receiver specifies sorting in ascending order, otherwise NO.
- selector (IntPtr)
- The method to use when comparing the properties of objects, for example caseInsensitiveCompare: or localizedCompare:. The selector must specify a method implemented by the value of the property identified by keyPath. The selector used for the comparison is passed a single parameter, the object to compare against self, and must return the appropriate NSComparisonResult constant. The selector must have the same method signature as:
Return Value
An NSSortDescriptor object initialized with the property key path specified by keyPath, sort order specified by ascending, and the selector specified by selector.
