title: How can I get an accessibility swipe to navigate a collection of subviews correctly?
body: <p>A single swipe gesture is intended by Apple to move the VoiceOver cursor through screen items in order but mine don't because the user can move them around!</p>
  
  <p>My main view has a set of buttons and labels, however it also has two collections of custom subviews, let's call the instances SVA1 to SVA9 &amp; SVB1 to SVB9 in 'ascending order' from left to right. That is, SVA is one custom UIView class and SVB is the 2nd. When I drag, say, SVA3 to the current position of SVA6 then I end up with an order of SVA1, SVA2, SVA4, SVA5, SVA3, SVA6, SVA7, SVA8 &amp; SVA9. The collections are 'linked' so that that same order would now also be mirrored in the SVB subview collection via my code.</p>
  
  <p>My problem is that swiping to the right, expecting VoiceOver to read out my items as I see them on screen results in a different order. It gets quite a lot of them right but then will suddenly move the VoiceOver cursor from the first collection to the 2nd or change its direction. After a move my code is aware of the new order of all the subviews but I'd like to be able to get that information to VoiceOver.</p>
  
  <p>Each custom subview is an accessibilityElement. Is there a way that I can tell VoiceOver to read back my items in the order I'd expect? I've come across the -accessibilityElementAtIndex: method but don't see whether or how that fits with my situation.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you.</p>
