monotouch DialogViewController change order of elements

Question

I am currently using the advanced editing tableview as outlined in Monotouch.Dialog that allows a user to delete as well as edit the label of table elements. Is there a way to enrich the tableview to achieve something similar to the screenshot, i.e. change the ordering?

You need to add this two methods to your DialogViewController.Source

        public override bool CanMoveRow (UITableView tableView, NSIndexPath indexPath)
        {
            return true;
        }

        public override void MoveRow (UITableView tableView, NSIndexPath sourceIndexPath, NSIndexPath destinationIndexPath)
        {
            tableView.MoveRow(sourceIndexPath,destinationIndexPath);
        }

Thanks that works. What would I need to do to commit the changes in the ordering? Currently once I select done is goes back to the initial order. – kos Feb 29 '12 at 15:10
in MoveRow() you need to manually make the necessary changes to your datasource so that when it redraws the table they are ordered correctly. – Jason Feb 29 '12 at 16:26

MonoTouch.Dialog's Sample application (in DemoEditingAdvanced.cs) has been updated to show this feature, ref: https://github.com/migueldeicaza/MonoTouch.Dialog/commit/62d5008c50ba3f5479c10a553451a6202af8d382#Sample – poupou Mar 06 '12 at 16:06
