How to populate UITableView from the bottom upwards?

To populate UITableView from the bottom:

- (void)updateTableContentInset {
    NSInteger numRows = [self.tableView numberOfRowsInSection:0];
    CGFloat contentInsetTop = self.tableView.bounds.size.height;
    for (NSInteger i = 0; i < numRows; i++) {
        contentInsetTop -= [self tableView:self.tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:[NSIndexPath indexPathForItem:i inSection:0]];
        if (contentInsetTop <= 0) {
            contentInsetTop = 0;
            break;
        }
    }
    self.tableView.contentInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(contentInsetTop, 0, 0, 0);
}

To reverse the order of elements:

dataSourceArray = dataSourceArray.reverseObjectEnumerator.allObjects;

Swift 4.2/5 version:

func updateTableContentInset() {
    let numRows = self.tableView.numberOfRows(inSection: 0)
    var contentInsetTop = self.tableView.bounds.size.height
    for i in 0..<numRows {
        let rowRect = self.tableView.rectForRow(at: IndexPath(item: i, section: 0))
        contentInsetTop -= rowRect.size.height
        if contentInsetTop <= 0 {
            contentInsetTop = 0
            break
        }
    }
    self.tableView.contentInset = UIEdgeInsets(top: contentInsetTop,left: 0,bottom: 0,right: 0)
}

Swift 3/4.0 version:

self.tableView.contentInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(contentInsetTop, 0, 0, 0)
