In my app i have got 8 UITextfields placed horizontally. My UITextfields can only contain one letter, sort of like Scrabble. And when the user types in a letter, the letter gets appended to an array. I have then managed to join all of the strings, so the array displays a word made of those appended letters. If i write "T" "O" "M" from the left corner it says "You wrote "TOM". But that is only because i type in the "T" first then the "O" and "M". The word that is displayed is depending on which letter that gets typed first, and not the letter´s actual position.
Is there a way I can sort an array to display the letter from left to right, not depending on which letter gets typed in first?
