# qsortedlist(3qt)

List sorted by operator #include \<qsortedlist.h\> Inherits QList.

## NAME

QSortedList - List sorted by operator\

`#include <qsortedlist.h>`

Inherits QList.

### Public Members

**QSortedList ()** \
 **QSortedList ( const QSortedList\<type\> & list )** \
 **~QSortedList ()** \
 **QSortedList\<type\>& operator= ( const QSortedList\<type\> & list )** \

## DESCRIPTION

The QSortedList class provides a list sorted by operator\< and operator==

If you want to sort a QList you have to reimplement the QGList::compareItems() method. If the elements of your list support operator\<() and operator==() then you can use QSortedList instead. Its compareItems() calls operator\<() and operator==() and returns an appropriate result.

Otherwise, this is as QList.

## MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION

## QSortedList::QSortedList ()

Constructs an empty list.

## QSortedList::QSortedList ( const QSortedList\<type\> & list )

Constructs a copy of *list.*

Each item in *list* is copied to this new list.

## QSortedList::~QSortedList ()

Removes all items from the list and destroys the list.

All list iterators that access this list will be reset.

## int QSortedList::compareItems ( QCollection::Item s1, QCollection::Item s2 ) `[virtual]`

Reimplemented for internal reasons; the API is not affected.

This reimplementation uses operator\< and operator== to compare.

## QSortedList\<type\>& QSortedList::operator= ( const QSortedList\<type\> & list )

Assigns *list* to this list and returns a reference to this list.

This list is first cleared, then each item in *list* is appended to this list.  Only the pointers are copied (shallow copy), unless newItem() has been reimplemented().
