Top 10 Most Annoying Songs Ever
The songs that just get on your nerves. The songs that make you wonder what the person was thinking when they made that song.
1 Baby - Justin Bieber
This song it the worst thing ever invented. I was eight years old and in the elevator when this song started playing and the man next to me couldn't bear it so he started smashing his head into the buttons. I was trapped in that elevator for 14 years and when I came out I found out my family had declared me dead. All my possessions were gone and I had no money left to my name. I swore that day never to get into an elevator again and never to listen to Justin Bieber again. I've been trapped on the 6th floor of my apartment complex ever since and have sometimes considered taking the stairs, but my malnourished form due to having eaten the elevator will not allow me. I've sworn my vengeance upon Bieber for the rest of my life. I won't stop until him and his offspring have endured my song called "Daddy" for 14 years. Also the lyrics are just cringy and the music video is worse than watching Kim K's sex tape.
He doesn't sound 9, he sounds 7. What was he thinking when he made the darn song? Sure, 6 years on and he is a mega star, but that was definitely luck. Actual good artists like Gotye have one huge hit but then become basically unknown, but JB is the opposite. That, and thus he as an existence on this planet as well, is totally strange. Why do girls think he is hot and why his music is enjoyed, Einstein wouldn't have been able to understand. Bleeds my ears if anything. And the worst thing is my mom still enjoys it! -_-
A very gay song (no offense against homosexuals). Very annoying and cringeworthy. Me and my friend Bryce had to listen to my friends (who are girls) play this in their car when I was in one of their cars heading to take prom pictures (I was in a group and we carpooled)
When I first heard this song I was like What is this song? And I later realized that it was a teenager that sounds like a kid in 3rd grade! I don't understand how anyone can like this song. There is nothing special abut it, even someone in preschool can say BABY. Anyone who likes this song is just plain stupid, like Bieber Baby
2 Friday - Rebecca Black
This song gets stuck in my head. I hate it so much and I wish it was never created. Like who cares if its Friday. If there is a Friday song then where is the Tuesday song?!
Excessive autotune, horrible lyrics, horrible music... It's almost as if the producers said "Here's a singing robot, here's a "My First Words" dictionary, and here's a chalkboard to scratch nails on. Let's get to work making this innocent 13 year old girl the most despised person in the universe. "
This song made me want to bust my head open on a doorknob. This is the definition of garbage. Rebecca Black needs to be punched in the face for this. Now whenever it's friday, my second favorite day, this stupid song gets stuck in my head and I wanna just punch Rebecca Black. Her voice scarred me for life.
You tubers should not make songs. When I first heard this song when I was watching one of my favorite you tubers I felt like throwing my phone at a wall. But like I love Shane Dawson, Trevor Moran, and Ricky Dillon songs but Rebecca black should not make songs
3 Let It Go - Idina Menzel
EXTREMELY HATE IT! I couldn't stand a split second of this abomination.
I swear, an annoying childish song that everyone couldn't stop singing no matter where I go or which site or YouTube video I click on, it's these things that keep pissing me off.
Even my retarded friend who suck at life sings it even though he hates it.
The only cure I could find to get this rubbish out of my head is putting on my headphones and play some hardcore dubstep on full blast, for the bass-heads, I recommend Excision. What's your cure?
So overall, it sounds childish, and when it's combined with overrate, irritation and annoyance, you'll know you're screwed, even if you still survive, you'll be coming out traumatized... for life.
I don't think this song is annoying at all! In fact I'm 18 and I love this song! I have it download on my phone so I can listen to it a lot. Anyone who says this song is for kids and only kids are wrong. I know many people who are in high school and who are 18 that loves this song! I'm guessing the people who said that the people who think this song is annoying is people who are very hard to please. Just a guess. I'm one of the people that is easy to please and likes everything (well everything reasonable that it)! So in other words this song is not annoying and it is a really great song to listen to.
This is most idiotic and annoying song in reality made by those two idiotic couples Lopez along with idiotic story made by two stupid directors of frozen. Why did Disney hired these foolish Lopez couples as well foolish directors Chris Buck and Jennifer lee. This whole film deserves to get flopped and fail through critically if judged properly in reality. Demi lovato version of this song sucks very much along this singer Menzel.
Shut up,everybody in reality hates frozen and they are majority of them. The songs are totally nonsense and disgusting with its idiotic and nonsense storyline. As many of us can understand properly how so annoying and irritating this franchise. It's really derserves to get flopped up, deserves negative reviews from critics who were really dumb and insane enough to give all fake praises for this. It also doesn't deserves to win a single academy award. It has been actually bribed for that.
4 #Selfie - The Chainsmokers
I think it's intended to be bad, but my goodness is it annoying, stupid, and even stereotypical. It's so bad that so many people don't even consider it to be a song.
It's so bad that I don't even consider it a legit song. It's just nonstop talking about random stuff with a trap beat that plays after "First, lemme take a selfie" is said. ( I think my ears started bleeding just typing that). The Chainsmokers even admitted that this "song" was written for fun/as a joke and WASN'T intended to be released.
This is not a song whatsoever. My older teenage cousin loves this and she listens to GOOD music. What was she on? This is just some teenage bubbleheads talk about bathroom selfies in their whiney little teenage voices. They must have produced their music at the Deaf Music Factory. (No offense to deaf people)
This is nothing "Can you guys help me pick if this song should be gone or not? " Just some electric sounding music playing after thr lines "First let me take a selfie" and a girl asking for help picking a filter bla bla bla.
5 Call Me Maybe - Carly Rae Jepsen
I honestly can't believe that Friday was called the worst song of all time and hated by everybody, whereas this song is played literally everywhere. It's so much worse than friday, with its repetitiveness, the singer's annoying voice, and the lack of any type of meaning whatsoever.
This weird song was popular for some reason. Carly Rae Jepsen may have talent, and be the nicest person in the world (I don't know) but this song sucks. "Hey, I just met you, and I'm a pervert, but here's my number, 'cause I am desperate."
A 26 year old (by the time this song was made) and she sounds like a cat on a chalkboard. Should be higher. More like Call Me Never. This is terrible!
I don't know if this song would be #5 on my list of most annoying songs of all time list (it's not more annoying than Single Ladies, Holla Back Girl, or All About That Bass)but it would certainly be at the top of my Most overplayed songs of all time list. I'm surprised rock & country stations weren't playing this God---- song!
6 Barbie Girl - Aqua
I cannot deny that it reminds me of my childhood because at that time it sounded a lot but it is a song that does not have lyrics that make me feel attracted and it really is not my style of music. I agree is very annoying
This song is super annoying! My little cousin plays it all the time I go to my aunty and uncle's house , it drives me crazy, and wish she would stop playing it
This song was absolute nightmare and horror when I was in my childhood. Took me 10 years to get rid of not starting to humming it at random. Literally makes me angry if I ever hear it, the memories of even its name makes my teeth want to grind until my tongue is destroyed.
I agree I really hate this song! It super annoying, it drives me nuts if someone plays this song, and it gets stuck in my head, then I would have to listen to my favorite music on my phone or mp3 player to get it out of my head
7 I Love You - Barney
This song is terrible just like all the other songs in this show from the theme song to the If All The Raindrops song among others. If I were to here this song I would just have myself mauled by a Grizzly Bear. Littlest Pet Shop and My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic have much better songs than this trash.
I don't know about you but Barney is creepy is that song just makes him bad. Not the actors fault. More like. Barney's creepy. He creeps me out. Let's just make him creepy for everyone. With a little annoyance and a little creepy eyes.
Pretty bad song but feel bad about the guy in the suit it wasn't HIS fault he had to sing that. He probably hated it too! He was on the news once crying about how everyone hated him for no reason
I was an older parent when my child was born. Imagine having a two-year-old wanting to watch this show when a parent is 50. Horrible enough for any parent of any age. Someone should shot Barney!
8 Gangnam Style - Psy
Okay. So I don't really like this song but there are some rude, racist, and cringe-worthy comments here. For one, not anything sung in Korean is awful. I myself am South Korean and I've heard pretty good Korean songs. Second, this is Korean, not Japanese so whoever said that is 100% wrong. Once again, I do not like this song but a lot of these comments are worse than the song itself.
This song is not annoying. I'm 18 and I thought this song was catchy and I love upbeat and catchy songs! I'm coming to conclusion that anybody commenting on this list of song are people who are hard to please. I'm very easily pleased and I like everything (well everything reasonable that is). In other words great song to listen to!
In 2010 music officially died when Justin bieber came singing baby. And in 2012 music is now just a mindless zombie with psy, and is practically eating a way at people's brains making them into mindless zombies to. And now most of the world is doomed to a "hit pop song" apocalypse. Pray for us people
I love Gangnam Style! It's funny, catchy, and has a great message. When it was introduced in 2012, it showed people that pop music wasn't just a Western thing. Viva Gangnam Style! Op op op!
9 Who Let the Dogs Out - Baha Men
Who the hell did let the dogs out? I'm mad at the person who did. If they never got out, then this crappy song would have never been made
Do you even know the meaning of the song? It's a very messed up meme. And I would be mad if someone let my dogs out but really. Should me in the top five.
I was stupid for thanking this song was interesting when I was 5. Maybe growing up is not all that bad after all
It's only annoying to you because you hear it all of the time. I actually kinda like this song.
10 Stupid Hoe - Nicki Minaj
"Anaconda" is better than this! (still a bad song though.) The chorus is literally 4 words repeated for 30 seconds and the verses are also obnoxious. This song was originally NOT supposed to be released, it's that bad! This is the absolute worst song by Nicki that I've ever heard and the music video is just as ridiculous/stupid. However, she did have some songs that actually sound good like "Pound the Alarm", "Starships", and "Superbass". I think I've given this ear torture of a song enough attention.
Where should I start? Well, first off you know a song is stupid when the chorus is stupid hoe. No Nicki, I believe you are the stupid hoe in this situation. The lyrics are such bullcrap, I've never been able to sit through the whole song without gagging and shutting it off.
This "song" wins for most painful thing to listen to. When people say their "ears are bleeding", they mean it literally if they are listening to Stupid Hoe. by the way why would Nicki perform a song about herself? Lol
This song is super repetetive, the music video is just really weird just like everything else that nicki minaj makes. Actually, nicki herself is the stupid hoe. This should definitely be at the top.
The Newcomers
? It's Oh So Quiet - Amanda Fondell
11 The Fox (What Does the Fox Say?) - Ylvis
YLVIS is beyond annoying. The garbage music that passes off for music is a sick joke. There is actually a lot of great underground music but all modern mainstream sucks.
It's just a song with the guy singing loads of animal noises! Why do I care what the flipping fox says? This guy must have been pretty desperate for a new song...
. I loved this song when it first came out, I laughed so hard. Now, it's annoying and pointless. THE FOX BARKS. You should've learned a while ago that a fox doesn't go, "Yodelaheehahoo"
One of the worst songs ever ever created. Its like an old stupid vine that was made in 2003 and people still do in 2016, but worse
12 The Gummy Bear Song - Gummibear
Ugh I absolutely DESPISE this song! I had to constantly listen to it during my early school years, then my mother bought the CD, and let me tell you, my ears have never been the same after that.
It is the worst, not #1 deserving, I mean like really annoying with the bears stupid voice, and also that crappy music video.
I don't like this song. My parents used to play it all the time. It's so crappy, it was the worst ear pain EVER IN MY LIFE!
My brother loves this song and he never heard the end of it because I throw a rock at the radio.
13 Axel F - Crazy Frog
I absolutely HATE this song. Probably the worst song I've ever heard in my life. Can a song get any more annoying than this, I think not.
Honestly, how is this not on the list. It is the most irritating thing I have ever heard in my life!
This pack of noises is very idiotic and awful. It's a disgrace for the original version by Harold Faltermeyer
No wonder they call Crazy Frog "The Annoying Thing"! I still can't stand this "song"!
14 Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae) - Silento
This was one of the most annoying songs ever. Silento was really annoying on this song (especially in the OOH WATCH ME part), and almost every line in the song has "watch me" in it.
It tires me it bores me and now thanks to this stupid song I have a terrible pain in my arm and it has been going on for nearly 10 days now.
My BFF's all find it boring.
Mmmm give this some time and I guarantee you it will be the most annoying song of all time. Not to mention the dance moves are reminiscent of a drunk baby
I don't get why this song became so popular. It's just a crappy dance song that makes no sense. No meaning, nothing.
15 Tik Tok - Kesha
I left this comment for another Kesha song and I'll say it again; You could make a separate list for annoying Kesha Songs, but every song she's ever sang would be on the list!
Made in the year 2010, the year music officially died. And on top of that she can't sing.
Why did Kesha had to use so much autotune in this song?
Funny how this song turned into an app
16 Baby Shark - Pinkfong
Why do adults like this? This is nothing but repetitive cancer. Every time I search something on youtube that's not related to baby shark, it shows up anyways.
My sister always played this song and at first it was fine but now older kids listen to it and at my school on every thursday or friday they play music on the speaker and oh my gosh they had to just had to play this song. The kids dance and scream out the lyrics. Why pinkfong. you have created pretty bad songs why make another?
I HATE THIS SONG. Kids kept voting for this song to be played at Homecoming and Prom, and my little brother likes this song too. This is my worst song of all time, and it even makes me wish I was listening to Justin Bieber. So stupid!
It Offends My Character named Shark Daddy! if you flip the Words "Daddy Shark" Yeah Its offensive to him! Thank goodness this song is In Music of Memes
17 Anaconda - Nicki Minaj
Oh God what is this abomination? I see nicki minaj has taken the average aging pop star route which didn't work for stupid hoe or Miley Cyrus's wrecking ball. The "song" is basically a ripoff of baby got back (don't get me started on THAT either), the lyrics sound like they were written by a toddler who just watched 50 shades of grey and the music video was a PORN VIDEO. People are defending this as a feminist anthem? NO WAY! Listen to "BO $$" "That's My Girl" or "Dangerous Woman" not this...TRASH which is more anti-feminist than most men in the 1800s. Nicki minaj objectifies men and women (basically humanity).
The bells and whistles. My neighbor would overplay at the highest volume at their parties until they even got annoyed by the song.
Not her absolute worst song, but REALLY bad! A blatant rip-off of "Baby Got Back" a song that was released at least 20 years before this. The exact same "My anaconda don't want nothing unless you got buns" from the original is played at least 3 times in this song.
You can't even call this music! It's practically just noise and messed up words. I used to like Niki Minaj but over time my patience has worn thin. Officially the worst noise ever!
18 Roar - Katy Perry
The cringiest song of all time. Probably written as some rallying cry for the feminist progressive types of America, which is why its full of insipid, cliche lyrics about some woman "finding herself" or "figuring out her strength" and other lyrics pertaining to her boyfriend/husband getting his comeuppance. Not to mention it's grating sound, that terrible guitar part and awful sounding keyboard. Give me a break
Oh HECK no! I despised this song ever since it first got stuck in my head that one morning. Since then, I always hated it! It's truly the worst pop song that ever existed, and will remain that way, at least in my opinion. I may be over exaggerating, but if someone around me eve DARES play that aggravating song ever again, I'm going to lose it, and bounce around the walls like when Sonny goes cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs, only in a more unhappy way.
I like this song! What's wrong with you guys?!?
I love K.P:( Please this should not belong here. How is it annoying?!? I'm a fan of K.P 13 year old and I like this song! This should NOT belong here. Why did you put Hero by Mariah Carey on this list too? That song isn't annoying at all, it's a very nice song that we loe to listen to. First,you added Hero by Mariah Carey on the list,then...you added this song on the list? why,just why? I'm going to remove these songs off like Roar and Hero!
This song ducks add and so does Katy Perry herself. I mean, come on, she didn't even try.
19 Whip My Hair - Willow Smith
This song is so annoying. I mean, seriously. Ok, you whip your hair back and forth. We get it after u sing it five million times. You will probably get a concussion by flipping your head around like that. No offense.
At least Call Me Maybe and Poker Face actually have more than seven words in there chorus's. The noise of this song is worse than a Mandrakes scream. I said it!
It gives me a headache every time I hear its like stop torturing me please. The only reason she got this song is because who her parents are.
Willow Smith is only famous because of her parents. This song is basicly the same as "wiggle" from Jason derulo: A whole song about a pointless movement of the human Body.
20 Achy Breaky Heart - Billy Ray Cyrus
Worst song ever written. Even worse than Friday or that little girl who sings "Baby." This song has the same melody as the Hokey Pokey song, which is a song written for four-year-olds.
Any adult who purchases this song should be sterilized on the spot to make sure they do not breed and make the human race even more stupid than it already is.
I Say this song is overhated, I actually like it and a fun song to listen to, and also very funny seeing Randy Marsh dance to it, and if you don't agree with me then you can just rip my achy breaky heart.
This is one of the most over hated and most unfairly hated songs of all time. I love this song, can't you guys fight the real evil like Justin bieber, Nikki Minaj, and all the other "hit" artists
I love this song. In my opinion it's better than what Miley's doing. I mean look at this than look at Wrecking Ball. Also anyone who hate this song probably just hate country music
21 Thrift Shop - Macklemore & Ryan Lewis
OK... I know lots of people really love it. I personally don't get why. I don't want to be a hater because I get so annoyed when people are alwatys hating on my favorite band, Cascada, but I dislike this song. I respect that people like it but I can't understand why people want to hear a song about a trip to a thrift shop. I am also not a rap person. I respect that some like rap, just like I wish Cascada haters would respect the cascada fans. I hope I did a good job writing this review.
I bet this was made because of The pawn shop T.V. fad. Rule of thumb just because it's popular doesn't mean you have to make a song or movie about it, and if you even do a song about it at least have it be by weird Al
I wish I had words to describe how much I detest this piece of s--- and his music! And he needs to keep his ignorant a-- political views to himself when he's at awards shows.
I liked it the first few times, but on play number one hundred million, it got annoying. And the lyrics are pretty dang ridiculous.
22 Wrecking Ball - Miley Cyrus
I actually think the song is good, but the music video ruins it. Try listening to lyric videos when listening to this or rock covers. Specifically Cry to the Blind's cover.
Okay so the final countdown is higher than this? Oh my god there goes my faith in humanity.
Actually I thought the song was pretty good. The music video however, ruined it. Honestly. A naked piece of crap on a construction equipment? Can you not be cliche?
The only reason this song is remotely relevent is the nudity in the video. If this was someone who hadn't already hit the Top 40 before it'd be made fun of even more. That and it shows Miley has nothing going on at all. Tongue included.
This song ruined women artists more then ever, and yet people find the final countdown more annoying? Someone get me a wreaking ball I have some peoples houses to destroy
23 7 Years - Lukas Graham
In our house we used to only get a couple radio stations and this song would play like 80 times a day I'm sick and tired of it
This Song Sucks, What Makes It Even More Annoying Is That my Radio On My Car Plays It Too Much
HE GETS A WiFE AT 11 that's WRONG
1 through 10 this song would be a 4 because I here this song too much
24 Shake It Off - Taylor Swift
Every time I turned on the radio, I heard this. This made me hate pop music with a passion and I have turned to the light (rock/metal). thanks Taylor, for the worst song ever.
Ugh I hate swift so much. She dresses trashy, insults the intelligence of boys, writes one of the worst songs I've ever heard there's just...nothing to like here. Ugh she's in one of my favorite movies. Due to this I hope for at least a little while, not to cross paths with this jacka** again. Not only that but she RUINS MY FAVORITE SONGS. Kanye West did a great thing in my opinion. If you see her albums find a safe place to incinerate them.
I hate this song it is famous because it sucks worse than a lot of these songs
My ears bleed when any song from 1989 plays on the radio.
25 All I Want For Christmas Is You - Mariah Carey
Very annoying song, I heard it almost every day from Muzic at my work in a grocery store from after Thanksgiving to Christmas Eve.
I used to love this song, until I started hearing it every single Christmas Day.
My fave holiday song!
I REALLY CAN'T STAND ANYMORE THIS STUPID SONG.

Q: wxWidgets - Splitting project into multiple files I am very new to C++, I'm making this music application using wxWidgets, this is my first project in C++. As of now, I have 4 files, app.hpp and app.cpp which has a class that inherits from wxApp that launches the application, and frame.hpp and frame.cpp which holds the base frame and panel, and all the widgets, and their appropriate functions. I want to move all the functions to a separate file, but I get some errors like there is this function in frame.cpp
void Frame::ClearPlaylist(wxCommandEvent& event)
{
    mediaCtrl->Stop();

    playlistBox->Clear();
}

I tried moving it in another file called command.cpp and created a new class called command and prefixed all functions to Command:: ....  and somethings like the playlistBox here, is a widget which I want in frame.cpp only, as it is a widget, so I did #include frame.hpp and prefixed it with Frame::playlistBox, but that gave a error saying invalid use of non static data member. So do I have to make everything in frame.hpp a static object? Or if anyone has a better solution for organizing a project like this please do share.

Stanley Kalu was raised in Nigeria. Since then, he and his family have lived in various African countries. He currently studies screenwriting at the University of Southern California. He is a friend of mine, and he has often told me stories about growing up in Nigeria. I asked him for folklore, and without even needing to ask for Nigerian folklore, he offered up several pieces, including two proverbs. When I asked why he gave me two proverbs, he said that his mother often said them to him, and that mothers and their proverbs are so infamous that there are meme websites dedicated to them that he visits when he feels homesick. Stanley provided the proverb in English.
Owen: Could you explain what this proverb means to you?
Stanley: It means that while you can do all the crimes that you want, every day, one day you will get caught and you will get found out.
Owen: Did someone used to say this to you repeatedly?
Stanley: Nah, my Mom just said it one time.
This is a great example of a proverb that makes little sense to an outsider. When he told me the proverb, I could barely guess what it meant. It is his following explanation that is necessary for understanding. It was also interesting that I had to ask him for the explanation–he stated the proverb so obviously at first.
There was once a great drought in all the land. So the animals gathered to try and make a plan. It was decided that the tortoise, due to his charm and manner of speaking, would fly up to heaven with the birds in order to bring food down. As he flew, he told the birds that at such times it is important to change your name. So he told them his name was "all of you." They got to heaven (and the feast) and God said the food was for "all of you." The tortoise gorged himself. The birds got mad and left, but the tortoise begged them to tell his wife to put soft things by his house so that he could jump and fall from heaven safely. The birds told his wife the opposite and the tortoise jumped and broke his shell.
This story reminds me of many tales that revolve around how an animal or other natural phenomenon came to be. It is a way of explaining the world around us before science or other explanations came about to replace tales. The cunning tortoise is a recurring character in Nigerian folklore, representing craftiness and outsmarting others, often at his own expense.
My informant is a senior at USC and of Nigerian ethnicity. Her parents were immigrants to America from Nigeria and with them brought customs, traditions, and phrases with them to their new home, including proverbs that they would use to raise their daughter.
Analysis: Originally written in Yoruba, this proverb expresses Nigerian values in the content of a person's character. A person's character is what composes their beauty, not just their outward appearance. The proverb is used mostly in reference to women, however the message could be applicable to both sexes. This proverb sheds light on the cultural values of Nigerian people. It allows the listener to understand that within Nigerian culture, external beauty is not valued or appreciated as much as being a good or morally upstanding person.
This proverb particularly reminds me of the English proverb "Don't judge a book by its cover" which my parents used to tell me all the time as a means of getting me to understand that people are not just what they look like on the surface, you also have to look within that person to see who they really are and what they're really about.
Analysis: This proverb was originally given in Yoruba and essentially states that there is a silver lining to every cloud. Even in instances where things are bad, you can always find something good about the situation that you find yourself in. In a way, the proverb is also saying that the process of "rebuilding the palace" is the silver lining, because the final product or new thing is more beautiful than before because of new appreciation for it and the work that was put into achieving it.
My informant told me that in a lot of Africa, a lot of families were of tribal and animistic religions. There were "really dark tribal things" going on and people would report really weird things like people turning into cats, a lot of kidnappings, and people turning their friends into witches for uses in witchcraft. She felt uncomfortable when she first heard her mom tell her that. She told me that a lot of things in Nigerian culture was stigmatized. Certain ways that you sleep were bad too. For example, sleeping on your side kept you from being robbed. She feels that a lot of it goes back to village culture, before Nigeria was urbanized.
My informant heard it from her mom when she was young.
I think this is a great example of folklore showing certain fears that a community has. From what my informant said, it seems like witches were powerful figures back in Nigeria history, but they were seen in a negative light which explains why the informant's mom didn't want her to be associated with witches.

Q: Swift - FetchRequest custom sorting (function) I was wondering how to sort entities (from CoreData) into specific built up arrays.
Let's say I have the following users added to CoreData:
Peter Smith
Emily Hughes
Grace Scott
Peter Brown
Ruby Turner
Chloe Scott
James Simpson

Currently, It's sorted alphabetically by it's family name:
@FetchRequest(
    entity: User.entity(),
    sortDescriptors: [NSSortDescriptor(keyPath: \User.lastname, ascending: true)]
) var users: FetchedResults<User>

// Ends up in (for better representation as JSON):
[
    "Peter Brown",
    "Emily Hughes"
    "Grace Scott"
    "Chloe Scott"
    "James Simpson"
    "Peter Smith"
    "Ruby Turner"
]

So far, so good. But I want to sort it on a different way and unfortunately, I did not found any solution on the internet. This is how I want to sort it (first, sorted by family name and second by firstname):
{
    "b": ["Peter Brown"],
    "h": ["Emily Hughes"],
    "s": ["Chloe Scott", "Grace Scott", "James Simpson", "Peter Smith"],
    "t": ["Ruby Turner"]
}

Does anyone of you have an idea how to do this? Maybe how to use a custom function for sorting data fetched from CoreData?
Thank you in advance!

A: You could use OrderedDictionary. It is similar to a regular Swift Dictionary, but is ordered instead of being in a 'random' order. This allows you to get the names by a character, whilst also preserving the order of the keys.
Example:
import OrderedCollections

...

let names = [
    "Peter Brown",
    "Emily Hughes",
    "Grace Scott",
    "Chloe Scott",
    "James Simpson",
    "Peter Smith",
    "Ruby Turner"
]

let dict = OrderedDictionary<Character, [String]>(grouping: names) { name in
    let lastName = name.split(separator: " ").last!
    return lastName.first!
}

print(dict)
print(dict.keys)

for item in dict {
    print(item.value)
}

Prints:

[B: ["Peter Brown"], H: ["Emily Hughes"], S: ["Grace Scott", "Chloe Scott", "James Simpson", "Peter Smith"], T: ["Ruby Turner"]]

[B, H, S, T]

["Peter Brown"]
["Emily Hughes"]
["Grace Scott", "Chloe Scott", "James Simpson", "Peter Smith"]
["Ruby Turner"]

    }
    //Here is the difference with deleting.
    //The IndexSet is for the section.objects not all the users
    private func deleteItems(offsets: IndexSet) {
        withAnimation {

            let objs = offsets.map { objects[$0] }

            for obj in objs{

                vm.deleteObject(object: obj)
            }
        }

}
struct UserListView_Previews: PreviewProvider {
    static var previews: some View {
        NavigationView{
            UserListView()
        }
    }
}

A: To change it to a dictionary you can just reduce it.
    let sortedForJson = namesArray.reduce(into: [String:[String]](), {
        let firstLetter = String( $1[ $1.index(after: $1.firstIndex(of: " ")!) ] )
        $0[ firstLetter, default: [String]()].append($1)
        $0[firstLetter] = $0[firstLetter]?.sorted()
    })

If you want to sort it for display in the view ie: have section names on a table view, you will need to sort by the section title first. So if you want the first letter of the last name you would keep your sort descriptor and add a second one to the array for the first name, then inform the fetched results controller of the section title.
       @FetchRequest(
entity: User.entity(),
sortDescriptors: [NSSortDescriptor(keyPath: \User.lastname, ascending: true),NSSortDescriptor(keyPath: \User.firstName, ascending: true)]

) var users: FetchedResults
see docs for displaying section index title name
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/coredata/nsfetchedresultscontroller
In this case you only want the first letter to be the title I think so.
     override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, titleForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> String? {
          guard let sectionInfo = <#Fetched results controller#>?.sections?[section] else {
          return nil
      }
      return String( sectionInfo.name.first! )
    }

What the Cat Dragged In: Aug. 16, 1996
Herb Caen
Published 4:00 am PDT, Friday, August 16, 1996
THE SLUG (newspaper jargon) at the bottom of my space says I'm on vacation but I haven't gone anywhere. The real old-timers never took vacations, either, explaining "When I'm here I'm already there so where is there to go?" Personally, I think they were just too tight to travel anywhere except to Golden Gate Park on the nickel streetcar, but you had to like their spirit. They loved the city with a proprietary fierceness that has all but faded away: if there was a better place than San Francisco they didn't care to hear about it. THE TRUTH is, I haven't gone anywhere because I've lost my zippety-do-dah, my gettup'n'go, my pep, if you will. How long since you've heard the word "pep"? I got a lecture from Ernie, my chief doc. "You gotta get out and socialize," he said. "I've already been in Pat Steger's column," I replied irritably but he was relentless: "Stop sitting around feeling sorry for yourself. Invite some interesting people over to chat with." "I've got no pep for chat," I said, keeping the words as short as possible. I don't feel sorry for myself -- just pooped. Four weeks of radiation plus yet another session of chemo will do that to you but I still feel guilty about not having a column in there, no matter how louzay. STILL, I bestirred myself to get to the theater, and struck magic. Steve Martin's "Picasso at the Lapin Agile," now running to packed houses at Theater on the Square, has charm, wit, point and a knockout cast. This is the play, set in a Montmartre bar in 1904, wherein Picasso meets Albert Einstein (they never actually met) and generates heat, light and firecracker bursts of revelations. It's unfair to single out an actor in this brilliant ensemble, but Mark Nelson is unforgettable as the 25-year-old Einstein. Not to be missed: the timing of his awestruck "I never thought the 20th century would be handed to me so casually" when he first sees a Picasso sketch. Paul Provenza plays Picasso to the hilt and frankly, I never had a better time in the thittir. SPINOFF: Shimon Van Collie checks in with a true Einstein tale involving Carl Levinson of S. F., a physicist at Princeton. They were driving through the campus one day when Carl espied Einstein about to enter the crosswalk, so he pulled over to the curb and turned the engine off. "What are you doing?" inquired Shimon. "He's a block away!" "I don't want to take any chances," said Carl, who waited till Einstein was safely on the opposite curb. ONWARD: Entre nous, I think it's what you get when you cross a crocodile with an abalone -- a crocabalone -- but I'll admit the alligator-in-Mountain Lake saga makes a lovely summer story. At three feet, however, it may be nothing more than a large lizard. One chorus of "Rub-a-Dub-Dub/Four men in a tub/Forgot to wear their life jackets/And soon went glub" . . . San Diego used to be the kind of town you went to see what you looked like asleep, but Liddy Dole changed all that; she woke 'em and stole the show, even though it was a case of petty theft. I still have her figured for one tough cookie but what a pro . . . Don't know what to do Sunday? Mary C. McGuire alerts me to the sesquicentennial observance of the fateful trip of the Donner Party. A lecture on "The Question of Cannibalism" will be followed by lunch at Donner State Park in Truckee. No doggy bags, please. CAENFETTI: The town's most notorious corporate cross-dresser is sending his usual female veep to the Fashion Times II half-price sale Tues. and Wed. at the Fashion Center. His instructions never vary: "The frillier the better" . . . San Francisco Focus mag, which has needed a kick in the butt for some time, is getting one from its new interim editor, Tracy Johnston, a.k.a. Mrs. Jon Carroll; her first issue is October's and it should be a whiz-banger. Are you too young to remember Capt. Billy's Whiz Bang? You bettah off . . . The fella who phoned in his reservation at Anjou gave his name as Rod Lake Wed. night but who showed up? Kevin Costner! With one pretty and two other guys (Anjou is the good French restaurant in Campton Place -- the street, not the hotel). Costner asked owner Pierre Morin to keep the adjoining table vacant, "for privacy," but when Debby and Peter (Giants) Magowan arrived and that was the only available table, what could Pierre do? Peter thanked Costner "for all you did for baseball" in "Bull Durham," a classic movie. It is not known whether Costner returned the compliment. I NOTE that my old friend Wilkes Bashford is celebrating his 30th year in one of the diciest of businesses -- high fashion -- and I hasten to congratulate him. Thirty years is a long time, especially when you cater to a rich clientele that believes in paying the tailor last. I remember the first time I walked past the then brand new Wilkes Bashford storefront on Sutter in '66 and was stopped cold by the elegant suit in the window -- a tan Sussex with blue overstripe ($275, a price that would soon rise to dizzying heights). The bouncy fellow with Adolph Menjou mustache who sold me the suit said "I'm Wilkes!" "And who's Bashford?" I asked. When he said, "That's my last name," I said "You made it up. Nobody is named Wilkes Bashford." Ever since then, he has carried his birth certificate in his wallet, to convince the doubters. ADVISES Mike Zelinsky: "Like me, say this prayer every night and if it works we'll live forever: 'Dear Lord, whose mercy's not diminished/Let me live till the airport's finished.' " Amen corner.

The Austrian Federal Ministry of Education, Science and Research has presented an Award of Excellence to Annika Nichols, a former VBC PhD-student in the lab of Manuel Zimmer, for her outstanding dissertation on the neurobiology of sleep.
Every year in December, the Austrian Federal Ministry of Education, Science and Research honors the authors of the forty most impressive dissertations that were submitted to Austrian universities during the previous academic year. The Awards of Excellence were installed in 2008 as a signal of appreciation and support for young scientists in Austria. The nominees are selected by the respective universities. The national awards come with a prize money of 3000 Euros each.
Annika Nichols was an IMP student in the Vienna BioCenter PhD Programme and received her doctorate from the University of Vienna in May 2018. For her thesis "Circuit mechanisms and neuroendocrine control of a sleep-like brain state in C. elegans" she studied sleep behavior in C. elegans worms under the supervision of Manuel Zimmer. Adapting a whole-brain calcium imaging technique that was developed at the IMP, she was able to observe for the first time and at single cell resolution entire brains switching between sleep and wakefulness.
The study was published in Science in June 2017 and has already won her a number of distinctions. In March 2018, Annika received the Harold M. Weintraub Graduate Student Award, in October she was presented with the Kirsten Peter Rabitsch Award and in November with the Vienna BioCenter PhD Award. Currently, Annika is an EMBO postdoc in the lab of Alex Schier at Harvard University.

2021 Theme: Re-Imagining the Foodie City
"To Eat is a Necessity but to Eat Well is an Art".
Following from WFF2019's individualistic theme of "Re-Think Your Food ", WFF 2021's theme elevates this discussion to the country/global level. For isn't Singapore the ultimate sand box for understanding and observing policy impact?
"Re-Thinking the Foodie City for 2030" will address the very heart of Singapore's eating-out culture as a thriving, cosmopolitan, multi-cultural global city which is constantly re-inventing itself to stay relevant and at the forefront of the food world. Learnings from this conference have relevance for all global cities which face rising obesity and health issues set against fervently embedded cultural eating norms.
In Singapore, we take our food seriously.
Happening at the same time in 2020 – Singapore has submitted its bid to UNESCO to recognize our unique hawker culture (results known by end of 2020). Also, new government policies are being put in place to safeguard the country's health against diabetes (War against Diabetes) – such as a total ban of packaged drinks with high sugar content and drinks with medium to high sugar content to be labelled clearly as well. The government through the Health Promotion Board – has advised all sections of the population to eat healthier food eg. brown rice instead of white rice – or to heed healthier choice labels.
But are these government efforts at odds? Preserving our heritage and also trying to make food healthier – is that possible? How do the different food industry players see themselves evolving to stay relevant to a more demanding customer base? Can we really have a "Delicious Food Disruption" that is healthy, tasty and affordable/accessible? Is that the holy food grail?
And where does food and agri-tech come into play in this tricky equation? Singapore is opening up land, giving out grants and increasing education opportunities for those who want to join the sector. The ultimate goal is for Singapore to be a leading urban agriculture and aquaculture technology hub with a food production model that can be exported to the region.
It all spells a very exciting next decade for Singapore as it aims to retain its crown as one of the world's foremost foodie cities – sitting at the crossroads of Asian cultures and being open to cultures from all around the world.
Come join us at WFF 2021 to see what's in store for our foodie city in the next decade – and how we can mesh seemingly opposing food objectives.
