I've read official apple documentation about sorting contacts, although I am not sure how to implement it. So, here is fetch request:
let fetchRequest = CNContactFetchRequest(keysToFetch: keysToFetch)
and my prefered sort order:
let sortOrder = CNContactSortOrder.UserDefault
and this is how I usually fetch contacts:
do {
try store.enumerateContactsWithFetchRequest(fetchRequest, usingBlock: { (let contact, let stop) -> Void in
self.contacts.append(contact)
})
}
catch let error as NSError {
print(error.localizedDescription)
}
Now what should I do with sortOrder
? Where and should I include in my whole fetching process?
Updated For Swift 4.0
let fetchRequest = CNContactFetchRequest(keysToFetch: [CNContactGivenNameKey as CNKeyDescriptor, CNContactFamilyNameKey as CNKeyDescriptor, CNContactMiddleNameKey as CNKeyDescriptor, CNContactEmailAddressesKey as CNKeyDescriptor,CNContactPhoneNumbersKey as CNKeyDescriptor])
fetchRequest.sortOrder = CNContactSortOrder.userDefault
let store = CNContactStore()
do {
try store.enumerateContacts(with: fetchRequest, usingBlock: { (contact, stop) -> Void in
// print(contact.phoneNumbers.first?.value ?? "not found")
})
}
catch let error as NSError {
print(error.localizedDescription)
}
Old Version write like this
fetchRequest.sortOrder = CNContactSortOrder.UserDefault
after fetchRequest object created so your final output is like
let fetchRequest = CNContactFetchRequest(keysToFetch: keysToFetch)
fetchRequest.sortOrder = CNContactSortOrder.UserDefault
do {
try store.enumerateContactsWithFetchRequest(fetchRequest, usingBlock: { (let contact, let stop) -> Void in
self.contacts.append(contact)
})
}
catch let error as NSError {
print(error.localizedDescription)
}
