The gtk:sort-list-model object is a g:list-model object that sorts the elements of an underlying model according to a gtk:sorter object.

The model is a stable sort. If two items compare equal according to the sorter, the one that appears first in the original model will also appear first after sorting. Note that if you change the sorter, the previous order will have no influence on the new order. If you want that, consider using a gtk:multi-sorter object and appending the previous sorter to it.

The model can be set up to do incremental sorting, so that sorting long lists does not block the UI. See the gtk:sort-list-model-incremental function for details.

The gtk:sort-list-model object is a generic model and because of that it cannot take advantage of any external knowledge when sorting. If you run into performance issues with the gtk:sort-list-model object, it is strongly recommended that you write your own sorting list model.

The gtk:sort-list-model object allows sorting the items into sections. It implements the gtk:section-model interface and when the section-sorter is set, it will sort all items with that sorter and items comparing equal with it will be put into the same section. The sorter property will then be used to sort items inside their sections.
