# sectionIndexTitles

The array of section index titles.

```
var sectionIndexTitles: [String] { get }
```

## Discussion

The default implementation returns the array created by calling [`sectionIndexTitle(forSectionName:)`](/documentation/CoreData/NSFetchedResultsController/sectionIndexTitle(forSectionName:)) on all the known sections. You should override this method if you want to return a different array for the section index.

### Special Considerations

You only need this method if you use a section index.
