    Default item in QTableWidget is QString, when I read date with format dd/MM/yyyy (13/12/2020), sort date column same only sort with first character.
    This is date column new load:
    9aab49a0-9f50-48c9-aad0-754a37531d92-image.png
    This is table date column after sort:
    1c0673e8-73ec-4c1a-bf5d-8d7b0866ce6d-image.png
    sorting is incorrect!

      If you can just store the date as date, not string and it will sort correctly, so instead of

      QTableWidgetItem* item = new QTableWidgetItem("12/11/2020");
      

      do

      QTableWidgetItem* item = new QTableWidgetItem();
      item->setData(Qt::DisplayRole, QDate(2020,11,12));
      

      If you really want strings you can switch to QTableView and implement custom sorting with QSortFilterProxyModel.
