    Hi,

    Since you really want a specific order, wouldn't it be simpler to sort your container after loading it with data ? That way you would be a bit less depending on the storage format.

    Hi
    He wants same order as in the ini file so not sure we can sort it out by sorting ;)
    Unless you have something magic in mind?

      Nothing magic, but if order is important then maybe sorting the container be a better idea than relying on something that can be modified with a text editor.

        @SGaist
        Absolutely if the order has any logic to it.
        Also I'm not sure poster will find QVector easy to access compared to a
        map.

          It helps if you use code tags for posting this here.

          values.insert(childKey, settings.value(childKey).toString());

          Don't you mean:

          QVector<QPair<QString, QString>> values;
          ...
          values.insert(i, QPair<QString, QString>(childKey, settings.value(childKey).toString()));
          

          ?

          Define yourself a type for QPair<QString, QString> and this will read easier.

            Don't you think you should post the actual error?!
            Or should we guess what the error is?

              @jsulm I am sorry, I thought I mentioned error.

              values.insert(QPair<QString, QString>(childKey, settings.value(childKey).toString()));
              At this line, I am getting that error.

                @poojakamshetty Please take a look at QVector documentation for insert() methods and fix your code. Hint: insert() has two parameters (as the error message already suggests).

                  Hi
                  Actually you might want to use append instead
                  https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qvector.html#append
                  values.append(QPair<QString, QString>(childKey, settings.value(childKey).toString()));
