QTreeWidget's InternalMove reverses order when moving multiple items
-
I used setDragDropMode(InternalMove) to enable the user to drag items around a QTreeWidget-derived tree in my application. The tree also has its selectionMode set to ExtendedSelection so the user can select multiple items to move at a time.
I was very surprised to see that the order of the items is reversed after the move, as shown in the images below. I select the three bottom items and move them above the first item:

...and I get a result like this:

(I was expecting 2-3-4-1)
Why is this happening and is there anything I can do for the order to be preserved? I am using Qt 5.0.2.
Thanks! -
Hello again neuviemep,
It looks like whoever created the multiple selected item used a stack to contain the items being dragged, then added they add all the items to a given position. There could be some sort of sort being called behind the scenes as well.
If you want to implement your own version of the movement, you could use a List or Queue that way you could insert the items in whatever order you want to.
