## Description

## Functions

### gtk_tree_model_sort_new_with_model ()

    GtkTreeModel *
    gtk_tree_model_sort_new_with_model (GtkTreeModel *child_model);

Creates a new GtkTreeModel, with `child_model` as the child model.

#### Parameters

child_model | A GtkTreeModel |

#### Returns

A new GtkTreeModel.

[transfer full]

### gtk_tree_model_sort_get_model ()

    GtkTreeModel *
    gtk_tree_model_sort_get_model (GtkTreeModelSort *tree_model);

Returns the model the GtkTreeModelSort is sorting.

#### Parameters

tree_model | a GtkTreeModelSort |

#### Returns

the "child model" being sorted.

[transfer none]

### gtk_tree_model_sort_convert_child_path_to_path ()

    GtkTreePath *
    gtk_tree_model_sort_convert_child_path_to_path
                                   (GtkTreeModelSort *tree_model_sort,
                                    GtkTreePath *child_path);

Converts `child_path` to a path relative to `tree_model_sort` . That is, `child_path` points to a path in the child model. The returned path will point to the same row in the sorted model. If `child_path` isn't a valid path on the child model, then `NULL` is returned.

#### Parameters

tree_model_sort | A GtkTreeModelSort |
child_path | A GtkTreePath to convert |

#### Returns

A newly allocated GtkTreePath, or `NULL`

### gtk_tree_model_sort_convert_child_iter_to_iter ()

    gboolean
    gtk_tree_model_sort_convert_child_iter_to_iter
                                   (GtkTreeModelSort *tree_model_sort,
                                    GtkTreeIter *sort_iter,
                                    GtkTreeIter *child_iter);

Sets `sort_iter` to point to the row in `tree_model_sort` that corresponds to the row pointed at by `child_iter` . If `sort_iter` was not set, `FALSE` is returned. Note: a boolean is only returned since 2.14.

#### Parameters

tree_model_sort | A GtkTreeModelSort |
sort_iter | An uninitialized GtkTreeIter. | [out]
child_iter | A valid GtkTreeIter pointing to a row on the child model |

#### Returns

`TRUE`, if `sort_iter` was set, i.e. if `sort_iter` is a valid iterator pointer to a visible row in the child model.

### gtk_tree_model_sort_convert_path_to_child_path ()

    GtkTreePath *
    gtk_tree_model_sort_convert_path_to_child_path
                                   (GtkTreeModelSort *tree_model_sort,
                                    GtkTreePath *sorted_path);

Converts `sorted_path` to a path on the child model of `tree_model_sort` . That is, `sorted_path` points to a location in `tree_model_sort` . The returned path will point to the same location in the model not being sorted. If `sorted_path` does not point to a location in the child model, `NULL` is returned.

#### Parameters

tree_model_sort | A GtkTreeModelSort |
sorted_path | A GtkTreePath to convert |

#### Returns

A newly allocated GtkTreePath, or `NULL`

### gtk_tree_model_sort_convert_iter_to_child_iter ()

    void
    gtk_tree_model_sort_convert_iter_to_child_iter
                                   (GtkTreeModelSort *tree_model_sort,
                                    GtkTreeIter *child_iter,
                                    GtkTreeIter *sorted_iter);

Sets `child_iter` to point to the row pointed to by `sorted_iter` .

#### Parameters

tree_model_sort | A GtkTreeModelSort |
child_iter | An uninitialized GtkTreeIter. | [out]
sorted_iter | A valid GtkTreeIter pointing to a row on `tree_model_sort` . |

### gtk_tree_model_sort_reset_default_sort_func ()

    void
    gtk_tree_model_sort_reset_default_sort_func
                                   (GtkTreeModelSort *tree_model_sort);

This resets the default sort function to be in the 'unsorted' state. That is, it is in the same order as the child model. It will re-sort the model to be in the same order as the child model only if the GtkTreeModelSort is in 'unsorted' state.

#### Parameters

tree_model_sort | A GtkTreeModelSort |

### gtk_tree_model_sort_clear_cache ()

    void
    gtk_tree_model_sort_clear_cache (GtkTreeModelSort *tree_model_sort);

This function should almost never be called. It clears the `tree_model_sort` of any cached iterators that haven't been reffed with `gtk_tree_model_ref_node()`. This might be useful if the child model being sorted is static (and doesn't change often) and there has been a lot of unreffed access to nodes. As a side effect of this function, all unreffed iters will be invalid.

#### Parameters

tree_model_sort | A GtkTreeModelSort |

### gtk_tree_model_sort_iter_is_valid ()

    gboolean
    gtk_tree_model_sort_iter_is_valid (GtkTreeModelSort *tree_model_sort,
                                       GtkTreeIter *iter);

This function is slow. Only use it for debugging and/or testing purposes.

Checks if the given iter is a valid iter for this GtkTreeModelSort.

#### Parameters

tree_model_sort | A GtkTreeModelSort. |
iter | A GtkTreeIter. |

#### Returns

`TRUE` if the iter is valid, `FALSE` if the iter is invalid.

Since: 2.2
