Question

We have a MainViewController with a tableView, and it presents a new modalViewController.

Answer 1

I did something similar with a navigation controller, that wouldn't rotate unless the top pushed controller does rotate.

In your case check if the main controller is presenting another controller. If it isn't then just reject rotation, otherwise return whatever the presented controller returns for the rotation method.

As for your table view, it shouldn't get reloaded because of rotations.
