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.

Track model changes with SwiftData history
Reveal the history of your model’s changes with SwiftData! Use the history API to understand when data store changes occurred, and learn how to use this information to build features like remote server sync and out-of-process change handing in your app. We’ll also cover how you can build support for the history API into a custom data store.
Create a custom data store with SwiftData
Combine the power of SwiftData’s expressive, declarative modeling API with your own persistence backend. Learn how to build a custom data store and explore how to progressively add persistence features in your app. To get the most out of this session, watch “Meet SwiftData” and “Model your schema with SwiftData” from WWDC23.
