Discussion of [UITableViewCell showsReorderControl]
The reordering control is gray, multiple horizontal bar control on the right side of the cell. Users can drag this control to reorder the cell within the table. The default value is NO. If the value is YES , the reordering control temporarily replaces any accessory view.

For the reordering control to appear, you must not only set this property but implement the UITableViewDataSource method tableView:moveRowAtIndexPath:toIndexPath:. In addition, if the data source implements tableView:canMoveRowAtIndexPath: to return NO, the reordering control does not appear in that designated row.
