If you are finding that multiple, separate methods are requiring a sorted
array, then you probably want a built-in solution, if you don't have a
controller somewhere in the mix that can do this for you.

Any customization will involve subclassing NSManagedObject and overriding
the accessor or adding a method. I recommend the latter (adding), as
overriding the accessor would make it rather inefficient, and could effect
performance.
