How to sort in TableView like QTableView?

?

My advice would be: if @SGaist suggests you try something you heed it!

When you call beginResetModel Qt throws away all existing information about the model, including which row was selected. The view presumably then just remembers row #2 was selected and reselects that.

If instead you call dataChanged on each index it may remember which row in the model was selected and re-select the model row, not the view row number.

Otherwise, if that does not work or you wish to stick beginResetModel, before you sort you should store which row is selected by its content. That is usually the primary key, which looks like it might be your iNumber? Then after the sort you go find that row again by its content and reselect that. Any problem with that?

@JonB thanks
I try dataChanged, it does not work

and store selected and reselect is a good idea, but when I select large of data, it will be very slow,

QStandardItemModel is very fast, amazing

Sorry, I don't understand? All you are supposed to store is the key of whichever row was previously selected, and then you re-find that in the new data order and select that item. What would be "slow"?

and then you re-find that in the new data order and select that item.

this is qml code
tableview.selection.select(index)

if i select 10000 items, it is every slowly

@JohnDaYe
Let's be clear: I know nothing about QML.

tableview.selection.select(index)

This selects one row, the row numbered index, right? So how does that select 10,000 items?

JohnDaYe

do
tableview.selection.select(index)
10000 times

JonB

@JohnDaYe
Yes, but why in the world would you want to select a row 10,000 times, or reselect a given row 10,000 times?

I just don't get what you don't get?

Store the primary key of the currently selected row somewhere.
Call beginResetModel, do the sort, endResetModel.
Look through the rows in the newly-ordered model to find what the index is now of the row whose primary key you saved away. (Depending on what it's sorted by, this may be optimizable, or not.)
Call tableview.selection.select(index).

I haven't called select() 10,000 times, have I? I'm just selecting one row at the end.

Thanks
I will read QStandardItemModel source code and learn some idea from it！

all the end！
