UITableView - move people from one section to another - ios

Question

I would like to create a tableview where I can move people from different departments into other departments, and I have some code posted below.
I have an issue with this, I can never seem to get it to get the usual ui gadget to move rows. I don't want the user to edit/delete the rows; simply move them about however the "move" buttons never seem to appear.
Is there something I am doing wrong?
Also I am not sure if I am doing the move code right.
#implementation ViewController
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
self.title = #"Departments";
self.tableView.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth;
self.tableView.allowsSelectionDuringEditing = YES;
_objects = [NSMutableArray array];
NSDictionary *sales = #{ #"name" : #"sales",
#"employees" : #[ #"Mike", #"Tom", #"Alex"] };
NSDictionary *marketing = #{ #"name" : #"marketing",
#"employees" : #[ #"Heather", #"Richard", #"Simon"] };
[_objects addObject:sales];
[_objects addObject:marketing];
// Uncomment the following line to display an Edit button in the navigation bar for this view controller.
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = self.editButtonItem;
}
- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning
{
[super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
- (void)setEditing:(BOOL)editing animated:(BOOL)animated
{
[super setEditing:editing animated:animated];
}

return [_objects count];
}
-(NSInteger) tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
NSDictionary *department = [_objects objectAtIndex:section];
NSArray *employees = department[#"employees"];
return [employees count];
}
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:#"cellId" forIndexPath:indexPath];
// Configure the cell...
NSDictionary *department = [_objects objectAtIndex:indexPath.section];
NSArray *employees = department[#"employees"];
NSString *employeeName = [employees objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
cell.textLabel.text = employeeName;
return cell;
}
-(NSString *) tableView:(UITableView *)tableView titleForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
NSDictionary *department = [_objects objectAtIndex:section];
return department[#"name"];
}
- (BOOL) tableView: (UITableView *) tableView canEditRowAtIndexPath: (NSIndexPath *) indexPath
{
return YES;
}
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView moveRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)fromIndexPath toIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)toIndexPath
{
if( fromIndexPath == toIndexPath ) return;
NSDictionary *department = [_objects objectAtIndex:fromIndexPath.section];
NSArray *employees = department[#"employees"];
NSString *employeeName = [employees objectAtIndex:fromIndexPath.row];
[self.tableView beginUpdates];
[_objects removeObjectAtIndex:fromIndexPath.row];
[_objects insertObject:employeeName atIndex:toIndexPath.row];
[self.tableView endUpdates];
[tableView reloadData];
}
- (BOOL)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView canMoveRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
// Return NO if you do not want the item to be re-orderable.
if (indexPath.section == 1 && [_objects count] > 1)
{
return YES;
}
return NO;
}
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView commitEditingStyle:(UITableViewCellEditingStyle)editingStyle forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
if(editingStyle == UITableViewCellEditingStyleDelete){
[_objects removeObjectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
NSArray *rows = [NSArray arrayWithObject:indexPath];
[self.tableView beginUpdates];
[self.tableView deleteRowsAtIndexPaths:rows withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationAutomatic];
[self.tableView endUpdates];
}
}

call this method after your array initialised. [self.tableView reloadData]
This will load the table data once again.
