Retrieve Core Data Entities in Order of Insertion
core-data, insert-id, sorting, timestamp
Solution
No, if you want a sort order for your data, you need to add that to your entities yourself. However you can easily add a NSDate attribute that has a default value of "NOW" so that it will auto-populate.
Problem
Is there an internal ID variable or timestamp I can use in a NSSortDescriptor to retrieve Core Data entities in the order they were inserted? I would rather not have to create such properties if there is a cleaner way, though will obviously do so if there are no other alternatives.
