QComboBox sorting the items.

[Sebastian]

Dear All,

I have to sort the QComboBox added items.
Suppose the function rNo() is called from a loop and it filled the combo.

void rNo( int num)
{
QComboBox *m_itemCombo;
Example :
itemCombo->addItem(num);
}

After execution of the function in combo, we have 5 items( 1,4,3,5,2). and it is not sorted.
So is there any way like we sort the combo item after filling it?
So my output be like in Combo is (1,2,3,4,5).
Might be a silly question but is there anything like that Qt Supports?

TIA

@Sebastian
Either sort your items before adding them in the first place, or put them into a model like QStringList and sort that, or (the "proper Qt way") interpose a QSortFilterProxyModel between your model and the QComboBox. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30957002/update-and-sort-qt-comboboxes-alphabetically gives various examples (a bit more complex than yours, so your solution will be smaller/simpler). Actually https://www.qtcentre.org/threads/3741-How-to-sort-a-QComboBox-in-Qt4?p=20187#post20187 from 2006 looks the simplest and I think would still be just the same now!

comboBox->model()->sort(0, Qt::DescendingOrder); // default Qt::AscendingOrder
