Sort Array of Dates, but if past date drop to bottom of Array Swift

Question

I need to sort a table by time and day for upcoming events. I need the nearest future date string at the top descending by the events following. BUT I want to drop past events to the bottom of the array/table, where I will hide the date and time, so the history is shown.

Its an Array of structs if that makes a difference

for example :

Event3 - 14:15

Event4 - 15:00

Event5 - 18:03

Event1 -

Event2 -

The following works to order my array, I just want to drop past dates to the bottom

newArray = oldArray.sorted(by: {Date(timeIntervalSinceNow: $0.eventTime < Date(timeIntervalSinceNow: $1.eventTime})

Answer 1

Solution A: sort, split and combine

let now = Date()
let sortedArray = myArray.sorted(by: { $0.startTime < $1.startTime })
var finalArray = sortedArray
if let index = sortedArray.index(where: { $0.startTime > now }) {
    if index > 0 {
        finalArray = Array(sortedArray[index ..< sortedArray.endIndex] + sortedArray[sortedArray.startIndex ... index - 1])
    }
}

Solution B (faster): sort by a predicate

let now = Date()
let newArray = myArray.sorted(by: {
    if $0.startTime > now {
        if $1.startTime > now {
            return $0.startTime < $1.startTime
        } else {
            return true
        }
    } else {
        if $1.startTime > now {
            return false
        } else {
            return $0.startTime < $1.startTime
        }
    }
})
