What is the most efficient way to sort an NSSet?

cocoa, data-structures, nsset, objective-c, sorting

Solution

try using

[[mySet allObjects] sortedArrayUsingDescriptors:descriptors];

Edit: For iOS ≥ 4.0 and Mac OS X ≥ 10.6 you can directly use

[mySet sortedArrayUsingDescriptors:descriptors];

Problem

What's the most efficient way to sort objects in an `NSSet`/`NSMutableSet` based on a property of the objects in the set? Right now the way I am doing it is by iterating through each object, add them to a `NSMutableArray`, and sort that array with `NSSortDescriptor`.
