    public List<MenuSection> ItemsSource {get;set;}

    public SomeViewModel()
    {
        ItemsSource = new List<MenuSection>{
            new new MenuSection("Select number",3){

    public MenuSection(string title,int initalSelectedValue)
    {
        SectionTitle = title;
    }
}

<sv:SettingsView x:Name="Settings" ItemsSource="{Binding ItemsSource}">
    <sv:SettingsView.ItemTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <sv:Section Title="{Binding SectionTitle}" ItemsSource="{Binding}" sv:RadioCell.SelectedValue="{Binding Selected}">
