//This works but it uses the animals, unsorted array. 
//If I replace it with this: Animal *myAnimal = (Animal *)[sortedArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];, it will give the error1.

         Animal *myAnimal = (Animal *)[animals objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
         NSString *temp = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@ - %@",myAnimal.distance, myAnimal.name];
         cell.textLabel.text = temp;

Any help would be great! thank you.

You probably need to retain your sorted animals array

sortedArray = [[animals sortedArrayUsingDescriptors:sortDescriptors] retain];

The clue is that your error said [_NSIndexPathUniqueTreeNode objectAtIndex:] but you expected sortedArray to be NSArray, not _NSIndexPathUniqueTreeNode. This tells you that the object sortedArray is pointing at has changed, which is usually an indication that it's been freed and the memory used by something else.
