# rearrangeObjects()

Triggers filtering of the receiver’s content.

```
func rearrangeObjects()
```

## Discussion

This method invokes [`arrange(_:)`](/documentation/AppKit/NSArrayController/arrange(_:)).

When you detect that filtering criteria change (such as when listening to the text sent by an `NSSearchField` instance), invoke this method on `self`.

## See Also

[`func didChangeArrangementCriteria()`](/documentation/AppKit/NSArrayController/didChangeArrangementCriteria())

Invoked when any criteria for arranging objects change.
