Accessibility order on iOS

Assistive technologies try to determine a logical accessibility order based on the placement and properties of the elements on the screen. In Left-to-Right languages, the order goes from top to bottom, from left to right. If this order is not optimal, you can override the accessibility order that assistive technologies follow.

On iOS, you can use the accessibilityElements property to set the order for assistive technologies. Be careful using the accessibilityElements property, because any elements left out of the array cannot be reached with assistive technologies.

view.accessibilityElements = [header, description, list]
