My bad, this was supposed to have gone to cocoa-dev.

It's not working because the event loop isn't running, which is when
the display methods are called.
Use an NSTImer instead that calls a method that spins the progress
indicator until you set a flag when you're done sorting (before the
"break" in your code).
Or use threads, and do the sort on another thread. That's a single
method call; check the NSObject documentation.
There are probably other ways.

Below is a snippit of code. I want he progress indicator to keep
"spinning" while it sorts the list. As is, it stops as soon as it
hits the [dll ****sort] method call.
- (IBAction)sort:(id)sender
{
[sortingIndicator startAnimation:self];
[sortingIndicator displayIfNeeded];
NSDate * now = [NSDate date];
switch ([whichSort selectedTag]) {
case 0:
[dll selectionSort];
break;
case 1: [dll insertionSort];
break;
case 2: [dll mergeSort];
break;
default: [dll quickSort];
break;
}
float secs = -1.0 * (float)[now timeIntervalSinceNow];
[elapsedTime setFloatValue: secs];
[sortingIndicator stopAnimation:self];
//[dll printList];
}
Thanks.
