OK, but I was trying to get at the question of from where the array controller gets its content. Is its contentArray binding bound? Or are you setting its content programmatically using -initWithContent: or -setContent:? > I was adding new items using -[NSArrayController addObject:]. What's the > better way? That's fine and should work. I don't know why the array controller isn't re-arranging its content. Maybe my understanding of that behavior is wrong. When you weren't calling -rearrangeObjects, were the added objects showing up in the table at all (but maybe in the wrong order)?
