    <p>I am trying to implement a Core Data backed UITableView that supports indexing (eg: the characters that appear down the side, and the section headers that go with them). I have no problems at all implementing this without Core Data using:</p> <pre><code>- (NSString *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView titleForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section; - (NSArray *)sectionIndexTitlesForTableView:(UITableView *)tableView; </code></pre> <p>I also have no problem implementing a UITableView that is backed by Core Data without using the indexing.</p> <p>What I am trying to figure out is how to elegantly combine the two? Obviously once you index and re-section content, you can no longer use the standard NSFetchedResultsController to retrieve things at a given index path. So I am storing my index letters in an NSArray and my indexed content in an NSDictionary. This all works fine for display, but I have some real headaches when it comes to adding and deleting rows, specifically how to properly implement these methods:</p> <pre><code>- (void)controllerWillChangeContent:(NSFetchedResultsController *)controller; - (void)controller:(NSFetchedResultsController *)controller didChangeObject:(id)anObject atIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath forChangeType:(NSFetchedResultsChangeType)type newIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)newIndexPath; - (void)controller:(NSFetchedResultsController *)controller didChangeSection:(id &lt;NSFetchedResultsSectionInfo&gt;)sectionInfo atIndex:(NSUInteger)sectionIndex forChangeType:(NSFetchedResultsChangeType)type; - (void)controllerDidChangeContent:(NSFetchedResultsController *)controller; </code></pre> <p>Because the index paths it's returning me have no correlation with the ones in core data. I got add working by simply rebuilding my index NSArray and NSDictionary when the user adds a row, but doing the same when they delete one crashes the whole application.</p> <p>Is there a simple pattern/example I'm missing here to make all this work properly?</p> <p>Edit: Just to clarify I know that the NSFetchedResultsController does this out of the box, but what I want is to replicate the functionality like the Contacts app, where the index is the first letter of the first name of the person.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
