FXSortedTreeWidgetItem

Bases: QTreeWidgetItem

Custom QTreeWidgetItem that provides natural sorting for strings containing numbers. This is useful for sorting items like version numbers or other strings where numeric parts should be ordered numerically.

  • "something1"
  • "something9"
  • "something17"
  • "something25"

Instead of the default sorting order:

  • "something1"
  • "something17"
  • "something25"
  • "something9"
