Description macias - 2008-06-11 13:10:01 UTC 
Example:
sort packages by status, then change the status, the whole list would be reordered.

From UI perspective this is bad, because user has to focus where he is now.

Please quit dynamic sorting, when the list is sorted (by user) keep the order till next explicit sort done by user.

That's a matter of how the underlying Qt widget does the sorting. We only provide the comparison function.

Sorry, can't help you here.

No, because you assume you have to use sorting the way Qt does.

But you can as well read the data, sort them internally and put the data back. This way sorting only happens when user wants to reorder items, not when she/he changes the status.

Current UI makes changes very difficult.
