reordering control in UITableView

Question

I am developing a game in which I am using a UITableView which has custom cell (UItableViewCell subclass).

In editing mode: Only the reordering control of the UITableView should show.

Right now I am getting the delete and the reordering control.

How to get only reordering control while editing ?

I know this answer might be late, but I'm putting it just for people who still need it. Just implement the following methods:

- (BOOL)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView canEditRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
    return YES;
}
- (UITableViewCellEditingStyle)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView editingStyleForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
    return UITableViewCellEditingStyleNone;
}
- (BOOL)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView shouldIndentWhileEditingRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
    return NO;
}
- (BOOL)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView canMoveRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
    return YES;
}
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView moveRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)sourceIndexPath toIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)destinationIndexPath{

}

still nothing - I have 2 kinds of UITableViewCell in one UITableView. Printing data works smoothly, but in no way I can manage to show rearranging control :/ — raistlin, Nov 19 '12 at 22:22

You should use this method for hiding delete button.

- (UITableViewCellEditingStyle)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView editingStyleForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
    return UITableViewCellEditingStyleNone;
}

If you want to disable all other editing options for your tableView's cells except the one that allows you to reorder them then just implement those methods from UITableViewDelegate:

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, canEditRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> Bool {
    true
}

// Removes the ability to delete current cell
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, editingStyleForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell.EditingStyle {
    .none
}

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, canMoveRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> Bool {
    true
}

 tableView.showsReorderControl = YES; // to show reordering control

To dissmiss delete control, in your UITableViewDelegate add

- (UITableViewCellEditingStyle)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView editingStyleForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    return UITableViewCellEditingStyleNone;
}
