getting sorted list from treemodelsort

[stefan]

hi there,

i have set up an GtkListstore and attached this to a TreeModelSort.
After sorting the TreeModelSort within my app, i want to retrieve the sorted list to use it in another place.
So first i trying something like:

[kksou]

$model = new GtkListStore(...)
$modelsort = new GtkTreeModelSort($model);
$view = new GtkTreeView($modelsort);

The sorted list is in $modelsort.

There's a sample code at:

Hi, thanks for your reply, but setting up the ModelSort is not the problem. I've done that so far (with a little help of your cookbook by the way

My point is, that i have this ModelSort and it will be shown in my app. Now the user can make some changes like sort the list by some parameters and THEN i'd like to get this sorted list back and replace the original model by the sortmodel to use it in other places of my app.

So, if you've got any ideas, your more than welcome...

Have created another sample code for you:

Hope this is closer to what you have in mind.

In the example, I've only output the sorted model to the command window.

In your application, you can copy the values to another model or save the data to database, etc.

One things to note: the GtkTreeModelSort does not actually hold the data. It uses the data from the underlying GtkTreeModel. So I would suggest you do not replace the original model. If you really need to replace the original model, then you might want to store the data somewhere first (e.g. in an array), clear the model, then populates the original model with the sorted data.
