QTableView Sorting is not Properly.

[Sebastian]

Dear All,
I have A QTableView with different columns and I have a QComboBox with items as QTableView column name.what i want like when we change the column name from comboBox then it should sort the items in Ascending Order.so for this the code is for sorting is

m_sortModel = new QSortFilterProxyModel;
m_tableView = new QTableView(this);
m_sortModel->setSourceModel(new QAbstractTableModel);
m_tableView->setModel(m_sortModel);
m_tableView->setSortingEnabled(true);

The above code is sorting the item but not the proper way what i want. Like if the item inside the column is 1,2,3,10,11,3 then it will sort like 1,10,11,2,3,3. so thats the problem.

what i want it should sort like 1,2,3,3,10,11.

Please if you have any idea or suggestion.
TIA

Your model sorts by string instead of by value. Make sure you convert the values to int when sorting.

Hi @Sebastian,

for ex:- string(1,2,3,10,11,3 )

convert the string to list of integer
QList<int> s = {1,2,3,10,11,13}
Sort the list:- s = {1,2,3,3,10,11}
Convert it to string again then set it to model.

new QAbstractTableModel this can't compile

Make sure you convert the values to int when sorting.

I disagree, you should store the values as numbers and convert them to string only if you absolutely, positively need them as string.

I suspect you are having the same problem as this nice chap

Yes, agreed.
