    <p>Let's say I have two entities, employee and department. A department has a to-many relationship with employee, many employees can be in each department but each employee only belongs to one department. I want to display all of the employees in a tableview sorted by data that is a property of the department they belong to using an NSFetchedResultsController. The problem is that I want my table to update when a department object receives changes just like it does if the regular properties of employee change, but the FetchedResultsController doesn't seem to track related objects. I've gotten passed this issue partially by doing the following:</p> <pre><code>for (Employee* employee in department.employees) { [employee willChangeValueForKey:@"dept"]; } /* Make Changes to department object */ for (Employee* employee in department.employees) { [employee didChangeValueForKey:@"dept"]; } </code></pre> <p>This is obviously not ideal but it does cause the employee based FRC delegate method didChangeObject to get called. The real problem I have left now is in the sorting a FRC that is tracking employee objects:</p> <pre><code>NSEntityDescription *employee = [NSEntityDescription entityForName:@"Employee" inManagedObjectContext:self.managedObjectContext]; NSSortDescriptor *sortDescriptor = [[NSSortDescriptor alloc] initWithKey:@"department.someProperty" ascending:NO]; </code></pre> <p>This works great and sorts the employees correctly the first time it's called, the problem is that when I make changes to a departments someProperty that should change the sorting of my employee table nothing happens. Is there any nice way to have my employee FRC track changes in a relationship? Particularly I just need some way to have it update the sorting when the sort is based on a related property. I've looked through some similar question but wasn't able to find a satisfactory solution.</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.
