[reverseOrder1 objectAtIndex:section] is NSString ? you want to remove header when header title nil? try set viewForHeaderInSection: return nil heightForHeaderInSection: = 0 when [reverseOrder1 objectAtIndex:section] nil — Huy Nghia, Mar 04 '15 at 05:49
I find I have similar problem. Except I've set my header view to nil AND height to 0 for empty sections. Still doesn't work somehow. — Flying_Banana, Mar 07 '15 at 22:22

You can use like this

    - (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section 
     {

    if ([tableView.dataSource tableView:tableView numberOfRowsInSection:section == 0]) 
    {
        return 0;
    } 
    else
     {
        return 60;
     }
    }

In addition to Ravi's answer, make sure you set the section height property of table view to 0 in storyboard.

It forces at least a value of 1 – Byron Coetsee Nov 16 '16 at 08:17
