Sort Qlist and return index

[wysota]

I was hoping there was an easier way than that

It is quite easy.

like how you can sort columns on a table.

And how do you do that?

Are there any examples of howto create a custom LessThan to pass to qSort?

I'm sure there are some in the docs. And here is one that uses a functor:
