How to assign different reuseIdentifier for different index for UITableViewCell (created in XIB)

Question

I have successfully created and linked the cell using the XIB,but the query is how do I assign different identifier (reuseIdentifier) to different cells of a UITableView? Suppose I have a tableView of SignUp Form ... So I would like to have the first cell having Identifier 'nameCell' next 'passwordCell' and so on.

I can Achieve this if without using XIB by Identifying the purpose of the cell with its index, but just wondered if this can be done.

It is very much possible, and in fact, necessary if you have different cell types in the same table. Here is an example taken from one of my projects:

NSString *CellIdentifier = @"Cell";

if ((indexPath.section > 0) && (indexPath.row == [tableView numberOfRowsInSection:indexPath.section] - 1)) {
    CellIdentifier = @"GreenCell";
}
else {
    CellIdentifier = @"StandardCell";
}
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
