When I add a section index consisting of "A", "B", ..., "Z" to my UITableView, everything works fine in the iPhone simulator. In this case, I get A, B, C, ..., Z displayed in a horizontal line to the right of my UITableview. If I add the 27th element (for example, "Other") to the section index headers, the section index will now show A, *, C, *, E, *, H, *, J, *, L, *, N, *, P, *, R, *, U, *, W, *, Y, Other, *, Other. Here * represents the circle that is displayed.
Any ideas as to why A, B, C, ..., Z, Other are not showing up as I would expect?
Is there a maximum number of entries in a section index?
If I have exceeded the maximum number of entries in the section index and the list is compressed, why is "Other" displayed twice in the index of the compressed section?
I get the following behavior when I click the entries in the section index:
Press 1st Other: title = Y, Index = 24 returned
Press last *: title = Z, Index = 25 returned
Press 2nd other: title = Other, Index = 26 returned
