Hello! I'm working on a tableview that includes the A-Z side index. However, the data I'm importing doesn't always have an entry for each letter in the alphabet. So I would like the A-Z index to function like so:

 

1. If there is a item for that letter in the index, say, "B", it should go to the first item in the "B" Section.

2. If there isn't an item for that index, say, "C", it should go to the letter before it, in this case, "B"

 

Currently, here is what happens: If I have sections for A, B, G, F, W, then the A-Z index will take me to A and B just fine, but

C => G,

D => F,

E and below => W

 

I know the problem is that the A-Z is taking me to the next index item. I figure I'll just implement one of the native UITableViewDataSourceDelegate calls, tableView:sectionForSectionIndexTitle:atIndex:

 

Unfortunately, when I implement the method, it is never called. HELP!

Hi topify,

 

Looks like the simplest solution is for us to create a new model action called 'sectionForSectionIndexTitle' in our next release (due in about a couple of weeks). If you can't wait for that, you can still implement "tableView:sectionForSectionIndexTitle:atIndex:" yourself by subclassing SCTableViewModel. You can find a code sample of subclassing SCTableViewModel in the following post: http://sensiblecocoa...ods/#entry12318

 

PS - Thanks a lot for pointing us to that post, I'll make sure it gets updated.
