Display the UILabel verticallly from the NSMutableArray inside the UIView

I have a list of array objects which I pass into to a loop and display it as UILabel dynamically. However I need the values to display it in a vertical. Below are my code,

 labelArrays = [NSMutableArray arrayWithObjects:@"One”, @“Two”, @“Three",@"four",@"five",@"six" ,nil];

//inside a method with a loop am passing the array and creating the labels.
-(void) createlabel:(CGRect) frame{
  float xCoordinate = frame.origin.x;
  float yCoordinate = frame.origin.y;
  int labelHeight =30;
  int gapBetweenTwoLabels =2;
  int labelWidth = 100;
  for(int counter = 0; counter < [labelArrays count]; counter++){
  UILabel *label = [[UILabel alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(xCoordinate,yCoordinate,labelWidth,labelHeight)];
  label.text = [labelArrays objectAtIndex:counter];
  [self addSubview:label];
  xCoordinate = xCoordinate + labelWidth + gapBetweenTwoLabels;
 }
}
//frame
[self createlabel:CGRectMake(25,130,100,40)];

This displays me as

one two three four five six

but i need it as

one two three
four five six

can anyone suggest me how can i achieve it? Note: I use this method inside the UIView not in the controller.

Change your y-coordinate as @Larme mentioned

labelArrays = [NSMutableArray arrayWithObjects:@"One”, @“Two”, @“Three", @"four", @"five", @"six" ,nil];

If you want output as following

one
two
three
four
five
six

-(void) createlabel:(CGRect) frame {
    CGFloat xCoordinate = frame.origin.x;
    CGFloat yCoordinate = frame.origin.y;
    CGFloat labelHeight = frame.size.height;
    CGFloat labelWidth = frame.size.width;
    CGFloat gapBetweenTwoLabels = 2;

    for(int counter = 0; counter < [labelArrays count]; counter++) {
        UILabel *label = [[UILabel alloc]initWithFrame : CGRectMake(xCoordinate, yCoordinate, labelWidth, labelHeight)];
        label.text = [labelArrays objectAtIndex:counter];
        [self addSubview:label];
        yCoordinate = yCoordinate + labelHeight + gapBetweenTwoLabels;
    }
}

But if you want output as :

one two three
four five six

-(void) createlabel:(CGRect) frame {
    CGFloat xCoordinate = frame.origin.x;
    CGFloat yCoordinate = frame.origin.y;
    CGFloat labelHeight = frame.size.height;
    CGFloat labelWidth = frame.size.width;
    CGFloat gapBetweenTwoLabels = 2;

    for(int counter = 0; counter < [labelArrays count]; counter++) {
        UILabel *label = [[UILabel alloc]initWithFrame : CGRectMake(xCoordinate, yCoordinate, labelWidth, labelHeight)];
        label.text = [labelArrays objectAtIndex:counter];
        [self addSubview:label];
        if((counter+1)%3 == 0) {
            xCoordinate = 0;
            yCoordinate = yCoordinate + labelHeight + gapBetweenTwoLabels;
        } else {
            xCoordinate = xCoordinate + labelWidth + gapBetweenTwoLabels;
        }
    }
}

Function call

[self createlabel:CGRectMake(25,130,100,40)];
