To sort data in SwiftData, you can use the index macro to make your queries more efficient. This macro allows you to specify keypaths for properties that are frequently used in sorting and filtering. For example, in the Trips app, you can add the index macro to the properties name, start, and end dates to make sorting and filtering faster.
Here's a brief overview of how you can implement sorting in SwiftData:
- Declare Indexes: Use the index macro to declare which properties should be indexed. This helps in making the sorting and filtering of queries more efficient.
- Use Queries: Utilize the query capabilities in SwiftData to fetch and sort your data. You can use predicates and sort descriptors to define how the data should be sorted.
