Custom sorting with NSFetchedResultController (subclassing NSSortDescriptor)?

In reference to your question and the comments. You are going to need to pull the objects into memory to sort them. Once they are in memory you can use a convenience method to determine distance from a point.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
