I’m using QItemSelectionModel with QTableView to allow the users to select rows. The problem is that when the user then clicks on a column header to sort the rows, the selection disappears and all the sorted data is displayed. How can I keep the selection, and just sort that, rather than having all the rows appear?

Thanks!

    Here is the way I ended up solving this problem:

    • When row selections are made, put the unique IDs of each hidden row into a list, then hide all hidden rows

    • Use self.connect(self.myHorizontalHeader, SIGNAL(“sectionClicked(int)”), self.keepSelectionValues) to catch the
      event when a user clicks on a column header to sort the rows

    • In self.keepSelectionValue, go through each row and if the unique ID is in the hidden row list, hide the row

    This effectively sorts and displays the non-hidden rows without displaying all the rows of the entire table.
