如何从链接到QTableView的模型中插入和删除行

Question

The removeRows() works as intended by deleting the selected row. But there is a problem with insertRows() . By some reason the new items do not appear at the index-number selected. What causes this problem?

Mistake was in insertRows() method. The incoming row argument variable (which is selected QModelIndex.row() number) was accidentally re-declared in for loop :

for row in range(rows):

I've renamed the argument row variable to postion and the fixed working code is posted below (the proxyB sorting attribute was commented out. It displays the ViewB items as unsorted. This way it is easier to see a "real" items order:

Edited later:

There was a few more tweaks made to the code. There is a lot happening "behind of scenes": before or after insertRows() and removeRows() do their job.

For example:

When we call these methods the first argument supplied must be a QModelIndex 's row number. It is going to be used by the methods as a "starting point" or "starting row number" from where the indexes will be added (inserted) or removed: as many as the second integer argument says.

As we know the proxy model 's modelIndexes s row and column numbers do not match to the associated with them the sourceModel 's modelIndexes. Interesting but there is a translation from proxy 's row numbers to sourceModel 's ones before the row-number-argument is even received by those two methods. It can be seen from a print out: the buttonClicked() method "sends" row 0 while the insertRows() method prints out that it received other than 0 row number (if it was supplied an modelIndex "taken" from by-Proxy-driven TableView with sorting or filtering enabled and active).

Aside from it there is some "intricate" mechanism happening on how these two methods remove or pop the data from the model 's self.items variable. removeRows() method kind of "returns" back to itself to finish a job if the row numbers do not follow in a sequence. The fully working code is posted below:
