Indexed table from array of strings iOS

Question

I have array of strings

 NSMutableArray * nam = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithObjects:@"ZAZ", @"London", @"Australia",@"England", @"Dallas", @"Mexico", @"Russia", nil];

How I can create indexed TableView from this string alphabetically??? Like in "Contacts"! Or maybe somebody know some lessons with this problem?

You can sort first your array alphabetically and then use that sorted array in table view .. — Maulik

Edit : Create UITableView follow link. Use newArray as tableview array

Sort your NSMutableArray alphabetically like this:

NSMutableArray *newArray = [nam sortUsingSelector:@selector(localizedCaseInsensitiveCompare:)];

Use this newArray as TableViewDataSource array for alphabetically ordered cells
