Sort function in Qdir

IknowQT

I set the directory to come first by using the setSorting function.
I'm getting the path information with QDirIterator, but it doesn't get it in the way I want it to be sorted. Import files in the middle.

Is there any way to get the directory first?

void wMethodInfo::UpdateCurrentPathInfo(QString strPath)
{
	QDir rootPath(strPath);
	rootPath.setFilter(QDir::NoDotAndDotDot | QDir::Files | QDir::Dirs);
	rootPath.setSorting(QDir::SortFlag::DirsFirst);

	QDirIterator it(rootPath, QDirIterator::FollowSymlinks);

	while (it.hasNext())
	{
		it.next();
		const QFileInfo& fInfo = it.fileInfo();

		//qDebug() << "File Name(): " << it.fileName();
		//qDebug() << "PopulateFileToSizeHash(): " << it.fileInfo();
		//qDebug() << "PopulateFileToSizeHash(): " << it.filePath();


		
		//if (fInfo.isFile())
			//qDebug() << "PopulateFileToSizeHash(): " << it.filePath();


		AddItem(fInfo.fileName());		
	}

}

As you can see in documentation, QDirIterator is not able to sort (cf. https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qdiriterator.html#QDirIterator).

So if sorting is something important for you, than you should better use QDir::entryList() or QDir::entryInfoList()

Why not just call QDir::entryInfoList() twice, once for directories, once for files, then append the second list to the first.

Sitting tight for most appropriate response straightaway. I’m excessively confounded here 😨😨.
