FIlter alassets by years

I am trying to filter AlAssets by year and month. I can already get dates and filter by year and month, but this is too slow with about 1000 photos. What's the best way to do this?

+ (void) loadFromLibraryByDate:(ALAssetsLibrary *)library assetType:(NSString *)type toArray:(NSMutableArray *)array onTable:(UITableView *)tableView onYear:(NSString *)year onMonth:(NSString *)mouth withDelegate:(id) delegate{

//clean passed objects
[array removeAllObjects];

// filter for the library
NSInteger groupType = ALAssetsGroupAll;



// block to enumerate thought the groups
ALAssetsLibraryGroupsEnumerationResultsBlock listGroupBlock =
^(ALAssetsGroup *group, BOOL *stop){
    if(group){
        [group enumerateAssetsUsingBlock:^(ALAsset *asset, NSUInteger index, BOOL *stop){
            if(asset){
                //                    cachedPhotos = [NSMutableDictionary new];

                if([asset valueForProperty:ALAssetPropertyType] == type){
                    if(year != nil && mouth != nil)
                    {
                        NSDate *date = [asset valueForProperty:ALAssetPropertyDate];
                        if(date.year == [year integerValue] && date.month == [mouth integerValue])
                        {
                            [array addObject:asset];
                        }
                     }
                    else if(year != nil && mouth == nil)
                    {
                        NSDate *date = [asset valueForProperty:ALAssetPropertyDate];
                        NSString *monthName = [date monthName:date.month];
                        if(date.year == [year integerValue])
                        {
                            if(![array containsObject:monthName])
                            {
                                [array addObject:monthName];
                            }
                        }
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        NSDate *date = [asset valueForProperty:ALAssetPropertyDate];
                        NSNumber *yearNum = [NSNumber numberWithInt:date.year];
                        if(![array containsObject:yearNum])
                        {
                            [array addObject:yearNum];
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }];
    }
    else{
        if( [delegate respondsToSelector:@selector(didFinishLoadingLibraryByDate:)] ){
            [delegate performSelector:@selector(didFinishLoadingLibraryByDate:)];
        }
        [tableView reloadData];
    }
};

// failure block, what happens if when something wrong happens when enumerating
ALAssetsLibraryAccessFailureBlock failBlock = ^(NSError *error){
    NSLog(@"Error: %@", [error localizedDescription]);

    static dispatch_once_t pred;

    dispatch_once(&pred, ^{

        dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
            UIAlertView *libraryFailure = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Serviço de Localização" message:@"Para poder partilhar conteúdos nesta versão iOS, tem de autorizar os serviços de localização. (Definições > Serviços de Localização)" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil];
            [libraryFailure show];
            [libraryFailure release];
        });

    });

};

[library enumerateGroupsWithTypes:groupType usingBlock:listGroupBlock failureBlock:failBlock];

      

        
        
        
      

    

Any help is appreciated, thanks
