iOS Sort Data into Table?

[ArtOfWarfare]

Okay, I'm begging to think maybe there's a better way to do this, but I have no clue how.

Here's what I have:
An array of dictionaries (called Assignments.)
Each dictionary has 3 keys. (Name, Class, and Date.)

I would like to create a table of the assignments. It should have a section for each Class, in which all of the Assignments with that Class are put.

So, help?

Right now the process I have...
1.) Run through all the Classes and create an NSMutableDictionary for each.
2.) Run through all the Assignments and place them in the right Dictionary.
3.) Run through all the classes and remove the dictionaries for the ones without them.

That's all good and fine. I have plenty of NSLogs showing that everything was done properly.

But when I try making the table, it crashes.

Does someone else have another way of doing this? Maybe you've had to do something similar and would be willing to share the code you used?

Have you considered using Core Data to model your domain and take advantage of everything that it provides (persistence, sorting, querying etc.)?

I've yet to find any good tutorials on using it.

Have you tried reading the documentation? That might seem like a strange idea to some people on here, but it really is quite good.

Here are a few things I've managed to find, hope they help you out:
