Not able to have array sort

Question

I have been teaching myself programming for about 4 months now. I use this site and another forum to help work myself through issues and a friend gave me his old book from school. Just so you know why I might miss an obvious mistake.

I am working on a program that has songs and artist listed. I want this to sort them and then display them in ascending order by artist. I feel like I am almost there but am missing something.

The results will display but not display in order. I am thinking I need to add something stating to print in ascending order or list next song, but I am not sure what. Here is my entire code thank you for the help:

SONG INTERFACE

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

@interface Song : NSObject

-(void) setTitle:(NSString *) songTitle;
-(void) setArtist:(NSString *) songArtist;
-(NSString *) Title;
-(NSString *) Artist;

@end

SONG IMPLEMENTATION

 #import "Song.h"

@implementation Song

{
    NSString *Title;
    NSString *Artist;
}

-(void) setTitle:(NSString *)songTitle;

{
    Title = [NSString stringWithString: songTitle];
}

-(void) setArtist:(NSString *)songArtist;

{
    Artist = [NSString stringWithString:songArtist];
}

-(NSString *) Title

{
    return Title;
}

-(NSString *) Artist

{
    return Artist;
}

-(NSComparisonResult) compareArtist: (id) element

{
    return [Artist compare: [element Artist]];
}

@end

LIBRARY INTERFACE

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#import "Song.h"

@interface Library : NSObject

@property (nonatomic, strong) NSMutableArray *list;

-(id) initList;

-(void) addSong: (Song *) song;

-(void) listSongs;

-(void) sort;

@end

LIBRARY IMPLEMENTATION

    #import "Library.h"

@implementation Library

@synthesize list;

-(id) initList
{
    self = [super init];
    if (self){
        list = [NSMutableArray array];
}
    return self;
}

-(id) init
{
    return [self initList];
}


-(void) addSong:(Song *)song

{
    [list addObject: song];
}



-(void) sort

{
    [list sortUsingSelector: @selector(Artist:)];
}

-(void) listSongs

{
    NSLog(@"The list of my songs");

    for (Song *song in list)
        NSLog(@"%-20s by %s", [song.Title UTF8String], [song.Artist UTF8String]);
}


@end

        Library *myList = [[Library alloc] initList];

        //song 1
        [sonlis1 setTitle: @"Holiday"];
        [sonlis1 setArtist: @"Madonna"];

        //song 10

Answer 1

There are a number of problems here:

1. You never call [Library sort].
2. The selector passed to [NSMutableArray sortUsingSelector] should return an NSComparisonResult - you're using [song Artist], which returns an NSString. It looks like you might actually want to use [Song compareArtist], which does return an NSComparisonResult.

Answer 2

Call [myList sort] right before [myList listSongs].
