UIalertcontroller sequence of buttons

I would like to change the sequence of alert action button, as per code I tried all possibility but it is not allowed me to change the sequence.

As per HIG, cancel is on right hand side https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/MobileHIG/Alerts.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40006556-CH14-SW1

See my code here

UIAlertController *alertController = [UIAlertController alertControllerWithTitle:@"alert" message:@"My alert message" preferredStyle:UIAlertControllerStyleAlert];

UIAlertAction* noButton = [UIAlertAction
                               actionWithTitle:@"Cancel"
                               style:UIAlertActionStyleCancel
                               handler:^(UIAlertAction * action)
                               {
                                   [alertController dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
                               }];

UIAlertAction* yesButton = [UIAlertAction
                                actionWithTitle:@"OK"
                                style:UIAlertActionStyleDefault
                                handler:^(UIAlertAction * action)
                                {

                                    [alertController dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];

                                }];


[alertController addAction:yesButton];
[alertController addAction:noButton];
[self presentViewController:alertController animated:YES completion:nil];

this will give me following result. I want to change Cancel button on right hand and OK button on left hand side.

enter image description here

I appreciate for your time.

People, it's a little old thread but if you want to have the bold font in the right button, you just need to set that action as '.preferredAction' property for the alert object. Hope this can help. I've just proved it on swift 3 / iOS10 and it works just fine.

Change the action style for cancel button type to UIAlertActionStyleDefault instead of UIAlertActionStyleCancel

UIAlertController *alertController = [UIAlertController alertControllerWithTitle:@"alert" message:@"My alert message" preferredStyle:UIAlertControllerStyleAlert];


UIAlertAction* yesButton = [UIAlertAction
                            actionWithTitle:@"OK"
                            style:UIAlertActionStyleDefault
                            handler:^(UIAlertAction * action)
                            {

                                [alertController dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];

                            }];

UIAlertAction* noButton = [UIAlertAction
                           actionWithTitle:@"Cancel"
                           style:UIAlertActionStyleDefault
                           handler:^(UIAlertAction * action)
                           {
                               [alertController dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
                           }];

[alertController addAction:yesButton];
[alertController addAction:noButton];


[self presentViewController:alertController animated:YES completion:nil];

And now you can change the order of the buttons by simply changing the positions of 

 [alertController addAction:yesButton]; //If you yesButton to appear first (left)
 [alertController addAction:noButton];

The UIAlertActions are flexible enough to reorder. They are not fixed .
