SortListModel
Object Hierarchy:
Description:
public sealed class SortListModel : Object, ListModel, SectionModel
A list model that sorts the elements of another model.
The elements are sorted according to a `GtkSorter`.
The model is a stable sort. If two items compare equal according to the sorter, the one that appears first in the original model will also appear first after sorting.
Note that if you change the sorter, the previous order will have no influence on the new order. If you want that, consider using a `GtkMultiSorter` and appending the previous sorter to it.
The model can be set up to do incremental sorting, so that sorting long lists doesn't block the UI. See [ method@Gtk.SortListModel.set_incremental] for details.
`GtkSortListModel` is a generic model and because of that it cannot take advantage of any external knowledge when sorting. If you run into performance issues with `GtkSortListModel`, it is strongly recommended that you write your own sorting list model.
`GtkSortListModel` allows sorting the items into sections. It implements `GtkSectionModel` and when [property@Gtk.SortListModel:section-sorter] is set, it will sort all items with that sorter and items comparing equal with it will be put into the same section. The [ property@Gtk.SortListModel:sorter] will then be used to sort items inside their sections.
