Sort ABMultiValueRef(kABPersonPhoneProperty)

Well, to get phones property with ABAddressBook, I use a loop.

EDIT : code I've tried :

    ABMultiValueRef phones = ABRecordCopyValue(contactPerson, kABPersonPhoneProperty);

                        for (NSUInteger j = 0; j < ABMultiValueGetCount(phones); j++) {

            NSMutableString *phone = [CFBridgingRelease(ABMultiValueCopyValueAtIndex(phones, j)) mutableCopy];
if ([phone hasPrefix:@"06"] || [phone hasPrefix:@"07"]){
    person.number = phone;
    }

But I don't think this is the best option..?

Maybe something like : 

if (ABMultiValueRef hasprefix...06 ||  07){
person.number = phones
}

When the contact has multiple value of phone numbers, I can count it with ABMultiValueGetCount(phones).

Well, now take an example :

The contact « Peter » has got 5 phone numbers in ABAddressBook (NSLog phones):

02 35 00 00 00

07 00 00 00 00

+1(919)949-8234

06 00 00 00 00

9009498923

I would like to sort these numbers, and store only ONE in NSString :

if number begins by 07 —> TAKE IT. (assign to NSString)

if number begins by 06 —> TAKE IT. (assign to NSString)

if other number —> Don’t assign.

if they are two phone number : one with 06, one with 07, take the last registered in ABAddressBook (or if this not possible/too complicated, take the number beginning by 07).

I would like to make this loop for every contact in ABAddressBook. and every contact has only ONE number (or 0 if numbers don't begin by 06 or 07).

In my example :

Peter has got this number : 07 00 00 00 00

Best answer I've found myself :

ABMultiValueRef phones = ABRecordCopyValue(contactPerson, kABPersonPhoneProperty);
                            for (NSUInteger j = 0; j < ABMultiValueGetCount(phones); j++) 
{   
if ([CFBridgingRelease(ABMultiValueCopyValueAtIndex(phones, j)) hasPrefix:@"07"] 
|| [CFBridgingRelease(ABMultiValueCopyValueAtIndex(phones, j)) hasPrefix:@"06"] 
||[CFBridgingRelease(ABMultiValueCopyValueAtIndex(phones, j)) hasPrefix:@"+33"])
        {

}
}
