I would instead recommend using -setValue:forKey: like this:

[object setValue:[NSNumber numberWithInteger:[[self arrangedObjects]

Yes, it's more sensible.

But now that I think about it, the "performSelector" approach has one *slight* advantage to the developer. If you ever use Xcode's refactoring to change the name of the property, it will miss the property name in the string. With @selector, the method name still doesn't change, but the refactor window does give a warning that it's not going to change automatically.

Perhaps the best option is option (c): create a IndexedObject abstract superclass (if there isn't one already) and use 'object.index = ...' after all.
