In the last video you were able to fetch all the RocketLaunches from the persistent store but you didn’t have a way to sort the incoming data. If you create a new RocketLaunch it’s simply added to the top of the list.

static func sortedFetchRequest() -> FetchRequest<RocketLaunch> {}
let launchDateSortDescriptor = NSSortDescriptor(key: "launchDate", ascending: true)
return FetchRequest(entity: RocketLaunch.entity(), sortDescriptors: [launchDateSortDescriptor])
let launchesFetchRequest = RocketLaunch.sortedFetchRequest()
static func fetchRequestSortedByNameAndLaunchDate() -> FetchRequest<RocketLaunch> {}
let nameSortDescriptor = NSSortDescriptor(key: "name", ascending: true)
let launchDateSortDescriptor = NSSortDescriptor(key: "launchDate", ascending: true)
return FetchRequest(entity: RocketLaunch.entity(), sortDescriptors: [nameSortDescriptor, launchDateSortDescriptor])
var launchesFetchRequest = RocketLaunch.fetchRequestSortedByNameAndLaunchDate()
