I would like to know how I can filter my list and create an alphabetical section index to the side of a List in SwiftUI, as is possible with the sectionIndexTitlesForTableView UITableViewDataSource delegate method in UIKit.

Here is an example of what I would like to do

How can I do this?

Here is the list I have so far: List built so far

  • Yes I Do, but how would I put the alphabetical list seen on the right graphically Commented Jan 7, 2020 at 23:16
  • Using a UITableView or a UICollectionView. Learning how to construct a view controller with a table view in it should be your starting point, not sorting an array alphanumerically. Commented Jan 7, 2020 at 23:19
  • So there is no way of doing it with the List view of swiftUI ?? Commented Jan 7, 2020 at 23:21

    @bsod you should work on your politeness. OP's original question seems pretty well-formed an relevant to me. Didn't need you to be patronising and snarky. Be kinder please. Commented Mar 23, 2020 at 4:07

If you're looking for a similar delegate method in SwiftUI you won't find one. Not yet at least.

I would suggest building a separate VStack of the section indexes (array you built already as you normally would for the delegate). Then just wrap your section indexes and your List in a ZStack.
