    <p>I am writing an iPhone app using S7Graphview and I have saved some dates and results to a .plist as keys and values in a dictionary, both as strings. My plist looks like this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;dict&gt; &lt;key&gt;2011-05-11&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;23&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;2011-05-12&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;23&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;2011-05-13&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;23&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;2011-05-14&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;43&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;2011-06-14&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;43&lt;/string&gt; &lt;/dict&gt; </code></pre> <p>Then I use this loop to load those values into the graphview:</p> <pre><code>NSMutableDictionary* dictionary = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc]init]; if ([[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileExistsAtPath:filePath]) dictionary = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithContentsOfFile:filePath]; int i = 1; if ([dictionary count] &gt; 0) { for (NSString* key in dictionary){ NSString* verdiString = [dictionary objectForKey:key]; CGFloat verdi = [verdiString intValue]; NSDate *dato = [[NSDate alloc]init]; NSLog(@"key=%@ value=%@", key, [dictionary objectForKey:key]); dato = [self stringTilDato:key]; [items.list_ addObject:[[GraphInfo alloc] initWithID:i name:verdiString value:verdi date:dato]]; i++; } } </code></pre> <p>The "stringTilDato" method converts the date string to a NSDate. The values get loaded into the items.list, but in the wrong order! The NSLog reports:</p> <pre><code>key=2011-05-14 value=43 key=2011-05-13 value=23 key=2011-05-12 value=23 key=2011-06-14 value=43 key=2011-05-11 value=23 key=2011-05-14 value=43 key=2011-05-13 value=23 key=2011-05-12 value=23 key=2011-06-14 value=43 key=2011-05-11 value=23 </code></pre> <p>(Don't know why it goes through the keys twice, btw, but I dont't believe that's important). I thought the keys would be read alphabetically, or at least in the order of the plist. Why does the plist get loaded into the dictionary in this order, or is it my loading loop that is the problem?</p> <p>Hope there is someone out there who can help me :)</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.
