Re: Tree View Sorting (Inital sort on display) (corrected post)

  (Sorry about the previous post, I accident hit the Send hot key while 
typeing)

  I'm developing a simple file browsing application (mostly for some
programming experience in GTK) and have things setup pretty well so far,
but I've hit a couple snags with regards to sorting a tree view and
would appricate some guidence.

  The first issue that I have come across is that It doesn't look like GTK
is using my defined sort function for setting the sort on the tree view.
I setup my sort function using these lines:
-=-
    gtk_tree_sortable_set_sort_func(GTK_TREE_SORTABLE(fileListStore), 
SORT_NAME, filelist_sort, GUINT_TO_POINTER(SORT_NAME), NULL);
    gtk_tree_sortable_set_sort_func(GTK_TREE_SORTABLE(fileListStore), 
SORT_SIZE, filelist_sort, GUINT_TO_POINTER(SORT_SIZE), NULL);
    gtk_tree_sortable_set_sort_func(GTK_TREE_SORTABLE(fileListStore), 
SORT_DATE, filelist_sort, GUINT_TO_POINTER(SORT_DATE), NULL);
-=-

    fileListStore is a GtkListStore which (at this point has nothing) 
will contain the files that will be displayed in the tree, and their 
associated information.  filelist_sort is my sorting function.

After I setup the sorting functions, I set the inital sort on the name 
column using these lines:

-=-
	gtk_tree_sortable_set_sort_column_id(GTK_TREE_SORTABLE(fileListStore), 
SORT_NAME, GTK_SORT_ASCENDING);
        treeColumn = gtk_tree_view_get_column(GTK_TREE_VIEW(fileList), 1);
        gtk_tree_view_column_set_sort_indicator(treeColumn, TRUE);
        gtk_tree_view_column_set_sort_order(treeColumn, GTK_SORT_ASCENDING);
-=-

I did setup the sort id's on the columns when I created them, and using 
this function call seems to work.  The items are sorted correctly, and I 
can see my debugging printf() output from the filelist_sort function.

I have the tree view setup so that the header's are visible and 
clickable so that I can change the sort order by clicking the header, 
but it doesn't work right.  When I click the header, the list is 
resorted, but it seems to use GTK's default function or something, 
instead of mine.  The sort order is not how I want it, and the printf() 
statements can't be seen in the output console.

The complete code for the application is here:

filelist_pane.c is the file which contains the code for the tree view 
and it's sorting function.

Any help is appricated.
