QComboBox deactivate automatic alphabetical sorting

valchr_

Hey everyone !

I'm using a QComboBox like that :

while (query.next)
{
  this->ui->comboBoxChoixTest->insertItem(0,query.value(0).toString());
}
query.prepare("COMMIT");
query.exec();

this->ui->comboBoxChoixTest->insertItem(0,"Choisir un Test");
this->ui->comboBoxChoixTest->setCurrentText("Choisir un Test");

I insert all items to index 0 so they have to stay in the order that I added them.

BUT actually it seems like there is an automatic alphabetical sorting…

Is it possible to avoid this sorting ?

Thanks :)

The default insert policy is not set to alphabetic sorting so I assume you enabled it (e.g. in the designer) - therefore please provide a minimal, compilable example to reproduce the issue.

Insert Policy is set to insertAtTop in Designer.
By the way I use a stylesheet : QApplication::setStyle(QStyleFactory::create("Fusion"));
And also this style for the ComboBox : this->ui->comboBoxChoixTest->setStyleSheet("combobox-popup: 0;");

Please provide an example with your problem, this works fine for me:

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
  QApplication app(argc, argv);
  QComboBox cbx;
  cbx.insertItem(0, "A");
  cbx.insertItem(0, "B");
  cbx.show();
  return app.exec();
}

Oh I found Something ! It comes from my queries…

query.prepare("BEGIN TRANSACTION");
	query.exec();
	query.prepare("SELECT Nom_Test FROM LISTE_TESTS");
	query.exec();
	while (query.next())
	{
		cout << query.value(0).toString().toStdString() << endl;
		this->ui->comboBoxChoixTest->insertItem(0,query.value(0).toString());
	}
	query.prepare("COMMIT");
	query.exec();

My table "LISTE_TESTS" is in this order :

-TU1
-TU2
-TU0
-ok
-tu1
-tu0
-tu2

But with the cout it return like that (alphabeticaly) :

TU0
TU1
TU2
ok
tu0
tu1
tu2

Okay so the problem comes from the queries but I can't see what is it...

That's the reason why I wanted a minimal example from you...

Okay I used an ORDER BY query and now it's good ! SOLVED
