free movement in QListView

[Algos]

Hello folks!
Greetings.

I have created a part of my GUI application with an area where the files of a particular pattern in a directory are listed as list view items. I would like to be able to drag the items and drop them at a different order within that same listing. If I use icon view instead, the drag and drop reordering works.

The problem is in the list view. If I don't set the movement to "free" explicitly, the GUI shows that dragging and dropping is not working, as I move the mouse, different items get selected. But if I make the movement free, I can drag the item by clicking on it, but the cursor changes to "not allowed" icon and I cannot drop the item anywhere else in that list ... i.e. the item cannot be moved.

Here is a part of my statements that I am using to display the list view:
listFilesView = new QListView(this);
listFilesView->setViewMode(QListView::ListMode);
listFilesView->setMovement(QListView::Free);
listFilesView->setDragEnabled(true);
listFilesView->setAcceptDrops(true);
listFilesView->setSelectionMode(QAbstractItemView::ExtendedSelec tion);
listFilesView->setDropIndicatorShown(true);
listFilesView->setModel(modelFiles);

If hope these statements give enough info to allow somebody to tell me what I am missing in order to get the drag and drop reorder functionality.what I am missing here?

Thank you.

No response. Seriously, guy?

Could some at least confirm if drag and drop reordering is even possible with QListView by allowing movement to be "free" or do I have to do some other stuff in the model?

Thanks.
