[QTableView] change data position if table resizes

Hi,

I have a question regarding the model/view concept of Qt. Let's assume, I fetch 30 rows from a database and I want to display them in a QTableView. Due to the size of the QTableView, only 10 rows are visible at a time. If the user wants to see the other rows, he has to scroll vertically. So what I get is this:

Code:

---

1.row
2.row
3.row
.
.
.
.
30.row

---

Instead of displaying the data in one column (where the user has to scroll vertically), I now want to display as many items as possible in one column and then move on to the next column (so that the user has to scroll horizontally). So what I want is this:

Code:

---

1.row        11.row        21.row
2.row        12.row        .
3.row        13.row        .
4.row        .
5.row        .
6.row        .
7.row
8.row
9.row
10.row       20.row        30.row

---

What's the best way to accomplish this with Qt?

I know that I can calculate the number of items which can be shown in one column (this is the viewport height divided by the row height), but the model doesn't know anything about the dimension of the table. I thought about re-ordering the data (i.e adapting the model's data() method) every time the resizeEvent of the table get's called, but is there a more elegant solution to this problem?

Kind Regards

Hmm. Maybe use a QListView, IconMode, flow TopToBottom
