Sort an array of dictionary (swift)

Question

let unsorted = [{Name:Amy,age:20},{Name:Bill,age:20}]
let sortedDict = sorted(unsorted){a,b in return a.Name < b.Name}

How can I sort the unsorted array according to the Name key? Above code seems doesn't work.

Answer 1

Your sorting syntax works (almost) if you are using a custom struct rather than a dictionary

struct Person {
  let name : String
  let age : Int
}

let unsortedPeople = [Person(name:"Bill", age:20), Person(name:"Amy", age:20)]

Now you can use the sorted function

let sortedDict = unsortedPeople.sorted{ $0.name < $1.name }
