Better Swift array sorting method?

I'm trying to sort an int array inside of Swift from greatest to least. The code I used is:

Array(data.keys).sorted(by: { $0 > $1 })

The array given is an array with integers 1 through 1,000. The results are:

999, 998, 997 ... 991, 990, 99, 989 ... 802, 801, 800, 80, 8, 799, 798 ...

The results I want are:

999, 998, 997 ... 991, 990, 989 ... 802, 801, 800, 799, 798 ...

Your dictionary keys are strings not integers. You can sort them comparing those keys using numeric options as follow:

let sorted = data.keys.sorted { 
    $0.compare($1, options: .numeric) == .orderedDescending 
}
