Do something like this:

// Calculate NSDate for 10 days ago
NSDate *now = [NSDate date]; // get current date
NSCalendar *calendar = [NSCalendar currentCalendar];
NSDateComponents *dateComponents = [[NSDateComponents alloc] init];
dateComponents.day = -10;
NSDate *tenDaysAgo = [calendar dateByAddingComponents:dateComponents toDate:now options:0];
[dateComponents release];

// Create NSFetchRequest
NSFetchRequest *req = [[NSFetchRequest alloc] initWithEntityName:@"MyEntity"];
req.predicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"date >= %@", tenDaysAgo];
// Optionally add a sort descriptor too

// Execute fetch request
NSError *error = nil;
NSArray *results = [managedObjectContext executeFetchRequest:req error:&error];

If this doesn't make sense to you then read about NSFetchRequests and Predicates in the Core Data Programming Guide.

If you want to sort array by property date of objects in that array you can write such call:

sortedArray = [unsortedArray sortedArrayUsingDescriptors:[NSArray arrayWithObject:[NSSortDescriptor sortDescriptorWithKey:@"date" ascending:YES]]];
