When Loading all key's value of NSDictionary into NSArray class. its incompletely and jumbling (randomly) loading key value of dictionary into NSArray class 

- (id)initWithCoder:(NSCoder *)coder
{
    self = [super initWithCoder:coder];
    if (self) {
            //do sth
        colorNameList = [[ColorModelClass colorListNames]allKeys];
    }
    return self;
}

enter image description here

Issue is: i expect all key load from dictionary into array in sequentially not randomly with out missing any key's

    NSDictionary keys aren't ordered. Even in the moment that you create your dictionary, your keys aren't being stored in the order that you added them. More details here: http://stackoverflow.com/a/22123188/4370893 – VitorMM Apr 06 '17 at 11:46

I think if you need to sort your dictionary and then store it in your array, it may worked,

Try to sort your Dictionary by doing bellow code:

keyArray = [dicWebColors allKeys];
keyArray = [keyArray sortedArrayUsingSelector:@selector(localizedStandardCompare:)];

Then proceed to store your data into the array.

Thanks

  • First get the keys, then sort the array. You can't sort a dictionary. – Willeke Apr 06 '17 at 15:49
  • "sort your dictionary and then store it in your array" is the other way around. – Willeke Apr 07 '17 at 00:37
  • @Willeke you can't sort your dictionary without array, and if you read the question carefully then perhaps you understand y did i say that. – Abhishek Mitra Apr 07 '17 at 02:23
  • `keyArray = [dicWebColors allKeys];` puts the keys in an array. `sortedArrayUsingSelector` sorts the array. You can't "sort your dictionary". Read your answer carefully. – Willeke Apr 07 '17 at 03:37
  • @Willeke Do you have any better answer ?? Just post it down, let us help with your understanding. Thank you. – Abhishek Mitra Apr 07 '17 at 06:06
  • Instead of "sort your dictionary and then store it in your array" say "store the keys in an array and then sort the array". – Willeke Apr 07 '17 at 10:33
