[pygtk] Making gtk.IconView sortable. Crashes at model.clear().

[Osmo Maatta]

Re-hallo,
Ok, the case is now solved.

I made the model too complicated.
I need only to create gtk.ListStore() and that's it. There is no need to 
go via model_sort.

  model_sort = gtk.TreeModelSort(model)  
  self.set_model(model_sort) 

This works really well:

        model = gtk.ListStore(gobject.TYPE_STRING, # Filename
                      gtk.gdk.Pixbuf,  # Icon image
                      gobject.TYPE_FLOAT, # File date
                      gobject.TYPE_INT) # File size

        self.set_tooltip_column(COL_THUMB_FILENAME)
        self.set_text_column(COL_THUMB_FILENAME)
        self.set_pixbuf_column(COL_THUMB_PIXBUF)

        self.set_model(model)

        # Make iconview sortable

        # Compare function is not actually needed. The default (internal 
cmp) function is good enough.
        # model.set_sort_func(COL_THUMB_FILENAME, 
self.default_sort_compare_func)
        # model.set_sort_func(COL_THUMB_FILESIZE, 
self.default_sort_compare_func)
        # model.set_sort_func(COL_THUMB_FILEDATE, 
self.default_sort_compare_func)

        # Set default sort order
        model.set_sort_column_id(COL_THUMB_FILESIZE, gtk.SORT_ASCENDING)

Here is a fully functional test code:

It rocks!
