Question

How to display xml parsed Data in UITableView In alphabetical order.?

Answer 1

In order to display/arrange your data in alphabetical which in a array you have to use NSSortDescriptor

you have to make the object of this NSSortDescriptor class and give data here which you are fetching from XML

NSSortDescriptor *itemXml = [[NSSortDescriptor alloc] initWithKey:@"itemName" ascending:YES];

Now suppose you have an array sortDescriptors

NSArray *sortDescriptors = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:itemXml,nil];


[yourArray sortUsingDescriptors:sortDescriptors];

Now give the yourArray to your UITableView delegate methods...... you will get the sorted data on table
