Wrong order in string array - arrays

Question

I have this code that passes the entries from textfield and adds them to a string array in another view controller. The problem is, the order is not correct.
This is my code:
//Textfields
#IBOutlet weak var text1: UITextField!
#IBOutlet weak var text2: UITextField!
#IBOutlet weak var text3: UITextField!
#IBOutlet weak var text4: UITextField!
#IBOutlet weak var text5: UITextField!
#IBOutlet weak var text6: UITextField!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
//Delegates each textfield
text1.delegate = self
text2.delegate = self
text3.delegate = self
text4.delegate = self
text5.delegate = self
text6.delegate = self
//Tags each textfield
text1.tag = 1
text2.tag = 2
text3.tag = 3
text4.tag = 4
text5.tag = 5
text6.tag = 6
}
func textFieldShouldReturn(textField: UITextField) -> Bool {
let nextTag: NSInteger = textField.tag + 1;
if let nextResponder: UIResponder! = textField.superview!.viewWithTag(nextTag){
nextResponder.becomeFirstResponder()
}
else {
textField.resignFirstResponder()
}
return false
}
override func prepareForSegue(segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: AnyObject?) {
let destination = segue.destinationViewController as! secondView
if segue.identifier == segueID {
//Adds the textfield entries to the string array on the second view controller
destination.stringArray = view.subviews.flatMap { ($0 as? UITextField)?.text }
destination.delegate = self
}
}
But I have no idea what is wrong with my code, why would it send the incorrect order to my array. My array looks like this:
["q", "w", "e", "t", "y", "r"]
when it should be...
["q", "w", "e", "r", "t", "y"]
This is just random letters I chose, the entries could be anything really. But the order is important. Could someone check my code, see where did I go wrong? Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

You need to sort the UITextField(s) you are retrieving
So replace this
destination.stringArray = view.subviews.flatMap { ($0 as? UITextField)?.text }
with this
destination.stringArray = view
.subviews
.flatMap { $0 as? UITextField }
.sort { $0.0.tag < $0.1.tag }
.flatMap { $0.text }

Answer 2

Alternatively, go from the tag to the field instead of the field to the tag:
destination.stringArray = (1...6).flatMap({ (view.viewWithTag($0) as? UITextField).text})
