Is there any particular format for compare two dates in iOS?

Question

I compare two dates with compare method .When I'm using date formatter as sedate style it return right answer.If I'm set the date formatter in custom way ;the answer was wrong.Isn't possible to compare two dates with custom formatter in iOS?

Formatting dates (i.e. `NSString` <=> `NSDate`) and comparing dates are two entirely different things. — trojanfoe, Sep 18 '13 at 10:36
