I have added section headers to my master view using the code in the manual:

 

    // Create the new objectsModel
    let objectsModel = SCArrayOfObjectsModel(tableView: self.tableView)
    
    // Implement the sectionHeaderTitleForItem action to return the first character of each task's name
    objectsModel.modelActions.sectionHeaderTitleForItem =
        {
            (itemsModel, item, itemIndex)->String! in
            
            let taskName = item.valueForKey("name") as! String
            
            // Return first charcter of taskName capitalized
            return taskName.substringToIndex(advance(taskName.startIndex, 1)).uppercaseString
        }
    
    // Enable automatic search functionality
    objectsModel.enableSearchController = true
    
    // Override STV's default SCTableViewModel with your new objectsModel
    self.tableViewModel = objectsModel

 

However, now my code to sort the tableland to add new records no longer works. I assume that this sis because i have changed the model to SCArrayOfObjectsModel so how do I sort that or add new records to it?

 

thanks

Hi Karl,

 

Is this the same issue mentioned here? http://sensiblecocoa...ler/#entry12994

Sorry, I was not clear.

When i say it doesn't work, I mean it causes a crash.

Before I added the code for sections headers, the following code worked ok:

 

        
        let myObjectsSection = self.tableViewModel.sectionAtIndex(0) as! SCArrayOfObjectsSection
        myObjectsSection.dataFetchOptions.sort = true

 

But now it causes an exception, because sectionAtIndex(0) is nil.

Oh I see what you mean now. In an SCArrayOfObjectsModel, all the sections get generated on the fly (much like an SCArrayOfObjectsSection generates its cells), so you should avoid directly accessing them. You should use 'myObjectsModel.dataFetchOptions' instead.

OK, that works, thank you
