Populating a combobox with a record obtained from a database

[Splatify]

Hmmm that seems pretty complex... are there any other ways? perhaps a work around which doesn't involve a model? I'm sure i'll think of a hacky way to do it eventually... i normally do, but it makes my code look rather messy

Thanks and I'll keep you updated on what I do.

Then dont use model, use your own logic to populate the qcombobox.

steps:
1)use QSqlQuery to select the records from db.
2)apply your QuickSort Alg
3)populate your combobox based on QuickSort logic

if you simply want to sort

myCombo->model()->sort(0,Qt::DescendingOrder);

myCombo->model()->sort(0,Qt::DescendingOrder);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Note:
you can also refer qSort(for containers)
