InstallSandardGestureForInteractiveMovement on UICollectionView in ViewController

I want to implement reordering of collection cells in the collection view inside the view manager, but the moveItemAt method is not called because I cannot access the installsStandardGestureForInteractiveMovement property of the CollectionViewController. I want to know if this property is exclusive to the UICollectionViewController, or can I somehow access it in the UIViewController that is currently hosting it?
