9,559 PointsTableView - Sorting through Dates
I am using CoreData for this project, listing my sorted objects in a UITableViewController chronologically. Each object has a date property, which is used to divide the table in sections. I want, though, that the first section seen by the user is that of the current date, not past dates. For example, if I have three sections (yesterday, today, and tomorrow) I would like that the user first sees the today section and has the option of downloading more previous cells if the wants. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

9,559 PointsHi Amit, thanks for the reply! Actually I was already able to divide the view in sections and order them chronologically according to their NSDate property, my problem lies in the UIScrollView position, as I would like those cells with dates>=today appearing at the top instead of objects with dates long past. As it is, the top of the scrollview when the view refreshes goes to objects back to objects of past dates first, following the order of the list of stored items.

9,559 PointsHi Amit,
What I actually wanted to do was resolved by an NSPredicate, setting it to a format of @"date >= %@",[NSDate date] , if that is clearer, so that the array only shows objects with present or future but not past dates. Thanks
