If I have an NSMutableDictionary keys {B,A,D,C} and values {custom obj1, custom obj2, custom obj3, custom obj4},

I would like this to sort into 

{A,B,C,D} -> {custom obj2, custom obj1, custom obj4, custom obj3}

    You can't sort a dictionary. You can sort the keys and then access the objects based on the sorted keys. – rmaddy Apr 11 '14 at 03:22

You can't sort dictionaries themselves. However you can get the key array [dictionary allKeys] and sort that. Something like:

NSMutableArray mutableKeys = [[dictionary allKeys] mutableCopy];
[mutableKeys desiredSortingMethod];
