The model is a stable sort. If two items compare equal according
to the sorter, the one that appears first in the original model will
also appear first after sorting.
Note that if you change the sorter, the previous order will have no
influence on the new order. If you want that, consider using a
gtk.multi_sorter.MultiSorter and appending the previous sorter to it.
gtk.sort_list_model.SortListModel is a generic model and because of that it
cannot take advantage of any external knowledge when sorting.
If you run into performance issues with gtk.sort_list_model.SortListModel,
it is strongly recommended that you write your own sorting list
model.
A gio.list_model.ListModel that sorts the elements of an underlying model according to a gtk.sorter.Sorter.

The model can be set up to do incremental sorting, so that sorting long lists doesn't block the UI. See gtk.sort_list_model.SortListModel.setIncremental for details.

gtk.sort_list_model.SortListModel allows sorting the items into sections. It implements gtk.section_model.SectionModel and when property@Gtk.SortListModel:section-sorter is set, it will sort all items with that sorter and items comparing equal with it will be put into the same section. The gtk.sort_list_model.SortListModel.Sorter will then be used to sort items inside their sections.
