With Core Data you have a big bag of contents, how you display that in a table view is entirely up to you. The process of achieving this is by sorting the big bag, generally as you extract the contents.
Look at NSFetchRequest
and you will see it takes an array of sortDescriptors
. You can make these sort descriptors look at any key in your managed objects. If you want, you can add an explicit order
key and set the value, or a date stamp.
How you sort is up to you, but you do need to sort to specify the order you want.
