Somewhere in the controller, declare your NSMutableArray of Bookmark objects (or any other objects), then sort using:

In this sample, I sorted using the name property

// Sort the bookmarks by name

NSSortDescriptor *firstDescriptor =

[[[NSSortDescriptor alloc]

initWithKey:@"name"

ascending:YES

selector:@selector(localizedCaseInsensitiveCompare:)] autorelease];

NSArray * descriptors =

[NSArray arrayWithObjects:firstDescriptor, nil];

NSArray * sortedArray =

[localBookmarks sortedArrayUsingDescriptors:descriptors];
