<!-- ##### SECTION Title ##### -->
GtkTreeModelSort
<!-- ##### SECTION Short_Description ##### -->
A GtkTreeModel which makes an underlying tree model sortable
<!-- ##### SECTION Long_Description ##### -->
<para>
The #GtkTreeModelSort is a model which implements the #GtkTreeSortable
interface. It does not hold any data itself, but rather is created with
a child model and proxies its data. It has identical column types to
this child model, and the changes in the child are propagated. The
primary purpose of this model is to provide a way to sort a different
model without modifying it. Note that the sort function used by
#GtkTreeModelSort is not guaranteed to be stable.
</para>
<para>
The use of this is best demonstrated through an example. In the
following sample code we create two #GtkTreeView widgets each with a
view of the same data. As the model is wrapped here by a
#GtkTreeModelSort, the two #GtkTreeView<!-- -->s can each sort their
view of the data without affecting the other. By contrast, if we
simply put the same model in each widget, then sorting the first would
sort the second.
</para>
<para>
<example>
<title>Using a <structname>GtkTreeModelSort</structname></title>
<programlisting>
{
GtkTreeView *tree_view1;
GtkTreeView *tree_view2;
GtkTreeModel *sort_model1;
GtkTreeModel *sort_model2;
GtkTreeModel *child_model;
/* get the child model */
child_model = get_my_model ();
/* Create the first tree */
sort_model1 = gtk_tree_model_sort_new_with_model (child_model);
tree_view1 = gtk_tree_view_new_with_model (sort_model1);
/* Create the second tree */
sort_model2 = gtk_tree_model_sort_new_with_model (child_model);
tree_view2 = gtk_tree_view_new_with_model (sort_model2);
/* Now we can sort the two models independently */
gtk_tree_sortable_set_sort_column_id (GTK_TREE_SORTABLE (sort_model1),
COLUMN_1, GTK_SORT_ASCENDING);
gtk_tree_sortable_set_sort_column_id (GTK_TREE_SORTABLE (sort_model2),
COLUMN_1, GTK_SORT_DESCENDING);
}
</programlisting>
</example>
</para>
<para>
To demonstrate how to access the underlying child model from the sort
model, the next example will be a callback for the #GtkTreeSelection
"changed" signal. In this callback, we get a string from COLUMN_1 of
the model. We then modify the string, find the same selected row on the
child model, and change the row there.
