UITextView Auto Complete text not i order - iphone

Question

I have a UITextView which is connected to UITableView for Autocompletion.
The problem is the table display is not properly formatted, i have following problems with this:
the details are not in order(ex: if i press a it is not displaying words starts with a first, it display as it likes).
i have three kind of words in my txt file(like Apple, A pple, A.pple);
in my table it display only A pple and A.pple but not Apple if i start search with letter 'Ap' even it displays A pple till i write 'A P' then it stops displaying the words.
Can any one let me know what to do that?
Please find my code for your reference:
Sorry for posting all the code, i am doing because i cannot find were its going wrong!!!

Answer 1

follow this code.. U have done all correctly but searching the element is the problem. U have written the code. if your checking length alone. if its not null it will show data. but u have to compare the first letter with element array. so that it works fine.
