Question

I have a table view in an iPhone xcode tab bar application that shows data either alphabetically or numerically, depending on a user selected option in one of the tabs. It works for the most part, but when I change the option and then go back into the table view, the table view initially looks like it did before the option was changed. However, as new cells get scrolled into view, they have the new display mode.

I can identify when the option changes, but I can’t seem to get the code correct that would re-initialize the cells such that the next time they come into view they have the correct values. The data comes from a static array with set values, so I don’t want to do anything with the data source, just the table view.

In other words, once the display option changes, I want to wipe out the table view I have so that the next time the table view displays it will show the correct data right from the start rather than after scrolling occurs.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

It sounds like you want to call reloadData on the TableView.

[yourTableView reloadData];
