The "(NSString*)" casts are unnecessary, as "id" is type-compatible with any
object-pointer type. You can also remove the "NSComparisonResult", as the
compiler can infer the return type from the 'return' statement.
Alternatively you can change the parameter types to NSString*, which makes the
block more type-safe:
[sortkeys sortUsingComparator:^(NSString* obj1, NSString* obj2) {
return [obj1 compare:obj2 ];
} ];
Or since your block just calls one method, you could just use:
[sortKeys sortUsingSelector: @selector(compare:)];
