how to sort below NSMutableArray structure

Question

i want below array(10 elements) to be sorted ascending order of
"/Users/bkothari/Library....Photo-0.png" to be 0th element
of an array and so on

I have tried to use

NSArray *sorted = [profileImageArray sortedArrayUsingComparator:^NSComparisonResult(id obj1, id obj2) {
    if ([obj1 intValue] < [obj2 intValue]) return NSOrderedAscending;
    else return NSOrderedDescending;
}];

but its not working.

profileImageArray (
    "/Users/bkothari/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/7.0/Applications/233D4F5D-CDB0-4D55-8037-5DD674558BB0/Documents/MyFolder/Photo-4.png",
    1,
    1,
    1,
    1,
    1,
    1,
    1,
   "/Users/bkothari/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/7.0/Applications/233D4F5D-CDB0-4D55-8037-5DD674558BB0/Documents/MyFolder/Photo-1.png",
    "/Users/bkothari/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/7.0/Applications/233D4F5D-CDB0-4D55-8037-5DD674558BB0/Documents/MyFolder/Photo-0.png"
)

Final output required:

  profileImageArray (
    "/Users/bkothari/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/7.0/Applications/233D4F5D-CDB0-4D55-8037-5DD674558BB0/Documents/MyFolder/Photo-0.png",
     "/Users/bkothari/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/7.0/Applications/233D4F5D-CDB0-4D55-8037-5DD674558BB0/Documents/MyFolder/Photo-1.png",
    1,
    1,
    "/Users/bkothari/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/7.0/Applications/233D4F5D-CDB0-4D55-8037-5DD674558BB0/Documents/MyFolder/Photo-4.png",
    1,
    1,
    1,
    1,
    1
)

What about those 1 elements in the array? They also seem to be ordered by a pattern. — Engnyl

No they are dummy text. only paths must be sorted and dummy elements must be rearranged accordingly — bhavya kothari

I guess you want to sort data according to Photo-0.png, Photo-1.png, Photo-2.png ? — Maulik

Try with sortedArrayUsingComparator using NSNumericSearch option

try this:

profileImageArray = [profileImageArray sortedArrayUsingComparator:^NSComparisonResult(id obj1, id obj2) {
        return [(NSString *)obj1 compare:(NSString *)obj2 options:NSNumericSearch];
}];
