You need to convert that date string into an NSDate and then you can just use a sortDescriptor

NSSortDescriptor *dateSort = [NSSortDescriptor sortDescriptorWithKey:@"date" ascending:YES];
NSArray *sortDescriptors = [NSArray arrayWithObject:dateSort];

reservations = [reservations sortedArrayUsingDescriptors:sortDescriptors];
