    <p>You should use your CoreData NSFetchedResultsController to get your sections/indexes.<br> You can specify the section key in the fetch request (I think it has to match the first sort key): </p> <pre><code>NSSortDescriptor *sortDescriptor = [[NSSortDescriptor alloc] initWithKey:@"name" // this key defines the sort ascending:YES]; NSArray *sortDescriptors = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:sortDescriptor, nil]; [fetchRequest setSortDescriptors:sortDescriptors]; NSFetchedResultsController *aFetchedResultsController = [[NSFetchedResultsController alloc] initWithFetchRequest:fetchRequest managedObjectContext:managedObjectContext sectionNameKeyPath:@"name" // this key defines the sections cacheName:@"Root"]; aFetchedResultsController.delegate = self; self.fetchedResultsController = aFetchedResultsController; </code></pre> <p>Then, you can get the section names like this:</p> <pre><code>- (NSString *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView titleForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section { id &lt;NSFetchedResultsSectionInfo&gt; sectionInfo = [[fetchedResultsController sections] objectAtIndex:section]; return [sectionInfo name]; } </code></pre> <p>And the section indexes are here:</p> <pre><code>id &lt;NSFetchedResultsSectionInfo&gt; sectionInfo = [[fetchedResultsController sections] objectAtIndex:section]; [sectionInfo indexTitle]; // this is the index </code></pre> <p>Changes to the content just indicate that the table needs to be updated: </p> <pre><code>- (void)controllerDidChangeContent:(NSFetchedResultsController *)controller { [self.tableView reloadData]; } </code></pre> <p><strong>UPDATE</strong><br> This only works for the index and fast index scrolling, not for the section headers.<br> See <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1741093/how-to-use-the-first-character-as-a-section-name/1741131#1741131">this answer</a> to "How to use the first character as a section name" for more information and details on how to implement first letters for section headers as well as the index.</p>

    1. COI think I didn't make myself clear enough. I want my indexes to be just like the Contact app, the first letter of the persons first name.

    2. COSo, why doesn't using the first name as the sectionNameKeyPath work?

    3. COsectionNameKeyPath!??!?!??! How the heck did I miss that! Wow that works brilliant. I should have read the doco better before coding my own...have reverted to that and it's working sweetly. I'd give you +5000 if I could ;)

Guidance
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.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
