QSortFilterProxyModel, QAbstractItemModel

[VRonin]

Then you have to ditch the QSortFilterProxyModel and reimplement sort in your custom QAbstractItemModel emitting layoutAboutToBeChanged and layoutChanged and calling changePersistentIndexes

@VRonin I need QSortFilterProxyModel for I use it also for filtring data of the model.
I also need to have consitency of the model(QAbstractTableModel) data and the data after sorting using QSortFilterProxyModel::Sort function.

Maybe mapToSource and mapFormSource functions will be helpfull??????

For the record, we're not sure why you want the underlying data model to have the same sort order as the in the proxy model?

Data doesn't really have a sort order, sorting is just one way of viewing the data. At different times you might sort by different criteria. The proxy model also provides filtering for the view, but you don't say you want rows omitted by the filter to be removed from the underlying model, which would be the equivalent change to what you are asking about sorting?

For during setting data(call SetData function of the customized QAbstractTableModel) or simpler saying clicking on a cell in the TableView and alter the data in it I take the:
int justRemovedRowIndex = cMagazynView->GetVectMagazyn().at(index)->GetTabView().currentIndex().row();
and everything is working perfectly if sorting is not involved.

[VRonin]

@Slawomir_Piernikowski said in QSortFilterProxyModel, QAbstractItemModel:

int justRemovedRowIndex = cMagazynView->GetVectMagazyn().at(index)->GetTabView().currentIndex().row();

No idea what this means, you gave us 0 context to any of those symbols

[Slawomir_Piernikowski]

@VRonin
int justRemovedRowIndex = cMagazynView->GetVectMagazyn().at(index)->GetTabView().currentIndex().row();

1. cMagazynView - pointer to class which have a member...
   ... QVector<MagazynView *>vectMagazyn; - vector of MagazynView pointers
   GetTabView() -

QTableView &MagazynView::GetTabView()
{
   return *tabView;
}

As it is simply to see I want to get row number of the currentIndex row of the TableView

@Slawomir_Piernikowski
As @VRonin has said, you have two approaches to sorting data from the model. Either you do not use a QSortFilterProxyModel and do the actual sorting yourself on the rows, or you do use it and the sorting happens in the proxy not the underlying data. Then, yes, you must "dereference" to get the actual index in the underlying data from the proxy, and for that you have https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qsortfilterproxymodel.html#mapToSource. That's just how it is.

[VRonin]

QSortFilterProxyModel has a method to map back the index of the view to the original model: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qsortfilterproxymodel.html#mapToSource

Instead of using currentIndex().row() you can use proxyModel->mapToSource(currentIndex()).row()

@JonB ok thanks

[Slawomir_Piernikowski]

@VRonin ok I will try to use this

[Slawomir_Piernikowski]

After a fiew tests it looks like mapToSource did the trick.

auto magazynToBeRemoved = model->GetcMagazynVect().at(cFilterProxyModel->GetVectMagazynFilterProxyModel().at(index)->mapToSource(cMagazynView->GetVectMagazyn().at(index)->GetTabView().currentIndex()).row());

@Slawomir_Piernikowski
Good. But do you really write that as a single line in your source code?

[Slawomir_Piernikowski]

@JonB I know that it can be not so readable for everybody but since I have been working on my soft from allmost 8 monthes I am used to such long lines of code :-)). Usually I devided such a long lines of code like this:

auto magazynToBeRemoved = model->GetcMagazynVect().at(cFilterProxyModel->GetVectMagazynFilterProxyModel().at(index)->

mapToSource(cMagazynView->GetVectMagazyn().at(index)->GetTabView().currentIndex()).row());
