Do I have to manually create each section?

SCArrayOfObjectsSection *shoesSection = [SCArrayOfObjectsSection sectionWithHeaderTitle:@"Shoes Section" withItems:[mainDelegate shoes]
																		withClassDefinition:shoeClassDef];

My sections are dynamically generated so I am having trouble figuring this out.

Hi Bryan:

I am having problems understanding your question, would you please elaborate or post more code? Thanks!

[Bryan Saltzman]

I would like to display my data in different sections based upon an attribute of my objects.

For example, suppose I have socks and I want my sections to be grouped by color.

Would I have to create a section for each color? like this:

SCArrayOfObjectsSection *shoesSection = [SCArrayOfObjectsSection sectionWithHeaderTitle:@"Shoes Section" withItems:[[mainDelegate socks] ofColor:red]
withClassDefinition:sockClassDef];


SCArrayOfObjectsSection *shoesSection = [SCArrayOfObjectsSection sectionWithHeaderTitle:@"Shoes Section" withItems:[[mainDelegate socks] ofColor:blue]
withClassDefinition:sockClassDef];

Hi Bryan,

This have been requested before and we're working now on figuring out a way where Sensible TableView will automatically generate the sections for you (expected to have something in a week or so). For now, the method you mentioned above is the way to go.

I would be interested in sectioning tables as well with Core Data. I am doing it manually at the moment but tieing it in with Sensible Tables and have it refresh automatically after new data is added would be great.

We're working on wrapping this up for our new release, due in about 10 days from now We'll keep you posted.

Hi,

Was just checking if there is any update on this feature to be able to section tables.

Thanks!

[Tarek]

This have been implemented as part of our upcoming 1.6 release. We just need 2 or 3 more days until the official release is ready

Hi,

Did this feature make it into v1.6 ?? Are there any examples on its usage ??

Many thanks,
Phil.

[Tarek]

Yes it has Phil. Please check our Core Data sample application under the "People" tab. If you go to the "People" tab and add a new person, a new section will be automatically generated based on the first character of the person's name.

Please tell me if you have any further questions regarding this.
