Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Qt column sorting?

Not at the current data model. We store and sort in epan, not in Qt. The later would allow to sort without epan knowing, currently, that is not how it is implemented.

I think this could be changed, would wait for 2.6 or 3.0 though

cheers

In order to get the contents of the column on which the sort is being done?

(Storing the contents persistently, rather than regenerating them as needed, would significantly increase the memory required per packet.)
In The old packet list we stored at least some of the column data I think. Still shouldn't it be possible to redissect and sort in one go?
