iphone - How to sort this JSON -

how sort json. json below output in browser.

{ event: { july: [ { createdseatmap: "yes", status: "1", completed: "1", eventpayment: "0", } ], aug: [ { createdseatmap: "yes", status: "1", completed: "1", eventpayment: "0", } ], sept: [ ], oct: [ ], nov: [ ], dec: [ { createdseatmap: "yes", status: "1", completed: "1", eventpayment: "0", stamp: "1386019800" }, { createdseatmap: "yes", status: "1", completed: "1", eventpayment: "0", stamp: "1387921620" } ], jan: [ ], feb: [ ], mar: [ ],  apr: [ ], may: [ ], june: [ ] } } 

below in console when fetched.

 apr =     ( ); aug =     (             {          createdseatmap: "yes",         status: "1",         completed: "1",         eventpayment: "0",     } ); dec =     (            { createdseatmap: "yes", status: "1", completed: "1", eventpayment: "0", stamp: "1386019800" }, { createdseatmap: "yes", status: "1", completed: "1", eventpayment: "0", stamp: "1387921620" } ); feb =     ( ); jan =     ( ); july =     (             {         createdseatmap: "yes", status: "1", completed: "1", eventpayment: "0",     } ); june =     ( ); mar =     ( ); may =     ( ); nov =     ( ); oct =     ( ); sept =     ( ); 

below code using

how sort please guide above. in advance.

json esentially nsdictionary, not ordered collection. have consistent ordering need print manually:

nsarray sortedkeys = [json keyssortedbyvalueusingselector:@selector(someselectorwhichsortsbymonthorder)];  [sortedkeys enumerateobjectsusingblock:^(nsstring *month, nsuinteger idx, bool *stop){     nslog(@"%@ = %@", month, json[month]); }]; 

but having said that, order isnt changing contents of dictionary, there reason care how looks printed on console?

edit: since want ordering table view do:

dont bother sorting above, define array contains names of months (in order). in cellforrowatindexpath: current month using indexpath.row , can access month data calling:

nsstring *cellmonth = self.orderedmonthnames[indexpath.row]; nsdictionary *monthdata = self.jsondictionary[cellmonth];
