    <p>Just getting my feet wet with iOS development, so I hope I'm getting the right level of detail here...</p> <p>I have a <code>UILabel</code>, loaded in a Table cell created via a .xib. Actually several labels, one of which is of varying length (and therefore varying wrapped height). <code>heightForRowAtIndexPath</code>, etc. are properly overridden, and the required height for both labels is being calculated correctly and assigned to each's <code>.frame</code></p> <p>Once both sizes have been set, I set the frame.origin.y of the smaller (fixed length, always one row high) label to match that of the larger label. This works as far as can be seen stepping through <code>cellForRowAtIndexPath</code> but on initial display of the newly-created cell, the origin seems to be not-quite-vertically-centered in the container, as opposed to stuck up top. </p> <p>After clicking "through" the cell to a different view, and returning to the (now-reused, and presumably already properly-sized container), the position is set as before, and it appears where I expected it to.</p> <p>It <em>seems</em> like the container is being resized after <code>cellForRowAtIndexPath</code> returns, and that somewhere in there a new position is found for our label; this would explain why reusing the cell later fixes the problem.</p> <p>I've tried every apparently-sane combination of inner and outer Mode and Baseline settings, stretch settings, etc. At a loss for explanations and/or workarounds.</p> <p><strong>Update:</strong></p> <p>A suggestion on the <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8352530/changing-the-position-of-custom-uibutton-in-custom-uitableviewcell">Changing the position of custom UIButton in custom UITableViewCell</a> question solved the problem. The solution was to subclass <code>UITableViewCell</code> and override <code>layoutSubviews</code>, thereby getting a chance to re-position the sub-elements after the TableView had done its normal positioning. Will close this once either that person responds here, or the bounty expires and I'll answer myself, with code.</p>

    1. COHave you tried calling `[self.tableView reloadData]` inside `viewWillAppear:`? This will force all the cells to be reloaded and displayed before the view is shown. Not an explanation for the problem, but perhaps a workaround. It sounds like you've simply got some things happening in the wrong order.

    2. COI have a similar problem http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8352530/changing-the-position-of-custom-uibutton-in-custom-uitableviewcell . If anyone can find a solution to either question, it would be great! @Paul Roub - Have you found any temporary workarounds? If so, please share.

    3. COPlease include the code, or relevant sections of it, from your heightForRow and cellForRow. I'm interested in when you set the height vs. when you move the label. Possibly also some screenshots of the incorrect alignment and original nib layout would be good too

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.

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