Specify indexPath.row for a new item in an array

I have an iOS project I'm working on using Xcode7 and Swift. The user can add items to an Array called "details" that is viewed in a TableView. Is there a way to specify the location of where you want the new item to be? Let's say I have 5 items in my array and I want the next added item to be placed in location indexPath.row for position 3. How do I do that? How can I make the new details[indexPath.row] be 3 for that item?

You should add the item into the "details" array at a specific index, then reload the table view.

details.insert("This String", atIndex: 3)
self.tableView.reloadData()

Just insert the item in details at the requested index and call tableView.reloadData()or tableView.insertRowsAtIndexPaths:withRowAnimation: passing the same index wrapped in [NSIndexPath]. But first check if the index is not out of bounds.

Let's say details is:

var details = ["Hello", "Hi", "Bye", "Goodbye", "No"]

Wherever you want to add the next item (I'm assuming position 3 means the 3rd index):

details.insert("Hey", atIndex: 3)

Then reload the table view:

tableView.reloadData()
