Custom Sort( Filesystem Sorting )

Custom Sort( Filesystem Sorting ) was created by GYEYOUNG TNI CO LTD
I want to implement sorting like QFileSystemModel via QTitanDataGrid . The model requires that directories are displayed first, but QTitanDataGrid cannot be implemented because it does not use the sort function of QAbstractItemModel.

the model, currently using, being used is a model that inherits QAbstractItemModel , items are stored as QVector<Item> , and it is possible to determine whether the item is a directory by a bool value.

struct Item
{
bool isDir;
QString sName;
}

please quick reply!!

The grid has a built-in mechanism for sorting by column (or by multiple columns). Also this sorting algorithm is used for grouping. You don't need to have sorting support inside the Qt model.
To sort by a column programmatically, use this method:
Qtitan::GridTableColumn* column = static_cast<Qtitan::GridTableColumn*>(view->getColumn(0));
column->setSortOrder(Qtitan::SortAscending);

You can also specify any role that will be used to get the value from the model by which sorting will be performed (By default Qt::DisplayRole is used):
Qtitan::GridTableColumn* column = static_cast<Qtitan::GridTableColumn*>(view->getColumn(0));
column->dataBinding()->setSortRole(Qt::CustomRole);

Indeed, when you click on the filename column, the sorting will be by filename. if you also need to sort by file type (directory or file), then you need to multi-sort by file name and file type (two columns).
To do this, hold down the Shift key and click on the second column. However, there is one problem in the standard Qt model - QFileSystemModel, a string for the file type is used, which contains a description by file extension. Below is the code that fixes this, just add these changes to Grid_FileBrowser.exe example, i have attachned the full project here -

File Attachment:

File Name: FileBrowser.zip
File Size:4 KB
:
class MyFileSystemModel : public QFileSystemModel
{
public:
    enum Roles {
        FileTypeRole = QFileSystemModel::FilePermissions + 1,
    };
    MyFileSystemModel(QObject* parent = nullptr) : QFileSystemModel(parent) {}
    QVariant data(const QModelIndex& index, int role) const
    {
        if (!index.isValid() || index.model() != this)
            return QVariant();
        if (role == FileTypeRole && index.column() == 2)
        {
            QString s = QFileSystemModel::data(index, Qt::DisplayRole).toString();
            if (s != "File Folder")
                s = "File";
            return s;
        }
        return QFileSystemModel::data(index, role);
    }
};

Window::Window()
: DemoMainWindow(QStringLiteral("QtitanDataGrid"), QStringLiteral(QTN_VERSION_DATAGRID_STR), tr("Qtitan::TreeGrid File Browser"))
{

............... 
    QFileSystemModel* fileSystem = new MyFileSystemModel();
    fileSystem->setRootPath(QLatin1String("C:/"));
    view->setModel(fileSystem);
....................

    column = static_cast<Qtitan::GridBandedTableColumn*>(view->getColumn(2));
    column->setBandIndex(detailsBand->index());
    column->dataBinding()->setSortRole((Qt::ItemDataRole)MyFileSystemModel::FileTypeRole);
......................}



Or another option, as mentioned above, you can make a Custom Role for the filename column and return a value so that it takes into account the file name and type. In this case clicking on filename will sort by name and type.
