Sorting QTableview items alphabetically!

[Kushan]

In my QT C++ application when load button is clicked a database table column is displayed in a table view! I need to arrange the words when they are loaded in alphabetical order! How can I modify my code?

Dialog.h

ifndef DIALOG_H
#define DIALOG_H

#include <QDialog>
class QSqlQueryModel;
namespace Ui {
class Dialog;
}

class Dialog : public QDialog
{
Q_OBJECT

public:
explicit Dialog(QWidget *parent = 0);

~Dialog();

private slots:
void on_searchMessages_clicked();
void on_pushButton_clicked();

private:
Ui::Dialog *ui;
QSqlQueryModel modal;
};

Dialog.cpp

#include "dialog.h"
#include "ui_dialog.h"
#include <QSqlQuery>
#include <QSqlQueryModel>
#include "mainwindow.h"
#include <QSqlDatabase>
Dialog::Dialog(QWidget *parent) :
QDialog(parent),
ui(new Ui::Dialog),
modal(new QSqlQueryModel(this)),

{
ui->setupUi(this);

}
Dialog::~Dialog()
{
delete ui;
}

void Dialog::on_pushButton_clicked()
{
{
if(QSqlDatabase::contains("MyConnection")){

        QSqlQuery qry(QSqlDatabase::database("MyConnection"));
   
        qry.prepare("Select UserName from User");
      

        if(!qry.exec()) return;
        modal->setQuery(qry);
      ui->tableView->resizeColumnsToContents();
    }
      QSqlDatabase::database("myconnection").close();
}

}

}

Did you get a chance to look at setSortingEnabled() and setSortColumn(..) APIs of QTableView. By default sorting is false. You can work with above APIs to achieve your requirement.

@dheerendra I did ui->tableView->setSortingEnabled(true); yet the previous result is displayed

[dheerendra]

What is previous result ? I did not understand. Can u give more details ?

two options:

• put a QSortFilterProxyModel between your model and your view then call ui->tableView->sort(0)
• change the query to qry.prepare("Select UserName from User order by UserName");
