iphonesdk contact listing indexing problem

Question

i want to index my contact with alphabets but i am not getting the correct result, suppose if i click a, b or c in each section it showing all of the contacts ? how can i make sure that contact name starts with A will be indexed only in A section. and others in there respective sections, thanks in advance.

-(NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)aTableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section 
{
    // Normal table
    if (aTableView == tableView) 
        return self.contacts.count;
}


- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView {
    //  return self.contacts.count;
    return self.contacts.count;
}

Iam using Abcontact class.

also attached image for more clarification.

repetition of same contacts

you should implement

- (NSArray *)sectionIndexTitlesForTableView:(UITableView *)tableView; 
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView sectionForSectionIndexTitle:(NSString *)title atIndex:(NSInteger)index;

these are functions implementations which you are telling me :) – Syed Faraz Haider Zaidi Jun 28 '11 at 10:35
you need two arrays - 1. with first letters of words and 2. Array of words for those each letters. Plz read the tutorial! – Sergnsk Jun 28 '11 at 10:48
