please use this code:

NSArray *array1 = [NSArray arrayWithArray:resultArray];
NSSortDescriptor* sortOrder = [NSSortDescriptor sortDescriptorWithKey: @"self" ascending: YES];
array1 = [array1 sortedArrayUsingDescriptors: [NSArray arrayWithObject: sortOrder]];

Try this

 NSArray *arr = @[@{@"first_name":@"B"},@{@"first_name":@"A"}];
 NSSortDescriptor *desc = [NSSortDescriptor sortDescriptorWithKey:@"first_name" ascending:YES];
arr =  [arr sortedArrayUsingDescriptors:@[desc]];

We Got The Solution By Using The Method Follows

[self.jsonData sortUsingDescriptors: [NSArray arrayWithObjects: [NSSortDescriptor sortDescriptorWithKey:"fullname" ascending:YES], [NSSortDescriptor sortDescriptorWithKey:"id" ascending:NO], nil]];

Where:-

jsonData - MutableArray Which holds the Parsed JSON Data.

fullname - the data we want to sort.

id - An unique data which comes with the inner dictionary.
