Your welcome. After posting that example code, I extended it to multicolumn sorting. You may find this example even better. It sorts on each column, by clicking that column header.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use Gtk2 -init;
use Gtk2::SimpleList;
my $win = Gtk2::Window->new;
$win->signal_connect (delete_event => sub { Gtk2->main_quit; });
my $vbox = Gtk2::VBox->new;
$win->add ($vbox);
my $slist = Gtk2::SimpleList->new ( 'Int' => 'int', 'Text' => 'text' )
+;
@{$slist->{data}} = ( [11, 'text1'], [21, 'text2'], [3, 'text3'], [41,
+ '4text'] );
$slist -> set_reorderable( 1 );
#my @columns = $slist->get_columns;
#for (my $i = 0 ; $i < @columns ; $i++) {
#$columns[$i]->set_sort_column_id ($i);
#}
# or
$slist->get_column (0)->set_sort_column_id (0);
$slist->get_column (1)->set_sort_column_id (1);
$slist->get_column(0)->signal_connect( clicked =>
sub { warn "clicked 0!\n" } );
$slist->get_column(1)->signal_connect( clicked =>
sub { warn "clicked 1!\n" } );
$vbox->add ($slist);
my $button = Gtk2::Button->new('Show Data');
$vbox->pack_end( $button, 0, 0, 0 );
$button->signal_connect(
clicked => sub {
print @{$slist->{data}},"\n";
# demonstrates reordering
foreach my $arr ( @{$slist->{data}} ){
print "$arr->[0]\t$arr->[1]\n"
}
print "\n\n";
}
);
$win->show_all;
Gtk2->main;
