AnyObject does not have a member named "sort"

I have an array var savedDataArray: AnyObject? = NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults().objectForKey("savedDataArray")G which I want to sort ascending

Im checking if its empty, then unwrapping it, however i'm still getting the "does not have a member named" error?

if savedDataArray?.count>0{
            savedDataArray!.sort{$0.localizedCaseInsensitiveCompare($1) == NSComparisonResult.OrderedAscending }
        }

error Any object does not have a member named "sort"

So then i tried reversing the array and big surprise the same error for .reverse

I thought by checking if the array is nil, then force unwrapping, these errors wouldnt be relevant

Don't access the array as an "AnyObject". Try pulling it as an Array object.

var savedDataArray: Array<String>? = NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults().objectForKey("savedDataArray") as? Array<String>;

Substitute the "String" type for whatever you're pulling the objects in your Array as. This allows you to use the "sort" member.
