question already had been answered. Newbie as I am, I hope y'all have
patience.

I have ripped this code from a post by phil:

Python ListItem instance is created and a Qt QListViewItem instance is
created. Qt takes responsibility for deleting the QListViewItem
instance. The ListItem instance is deleted as soon as there is no Python
reference to it - in your script the first instance is deleted when you
create the second one, and the second one is deleted when the List
__init__ method terminates. There is therefore no ListItem instance to
provide a key() method. The trick is to keep the ListItem instances
alive by keeping references
to them in the itemList list. Phil

This kind of sorting is _almost_ what i want. The only difference is
that my list 
contains:
> self.data = (['a 1','a 2'], ['a 11','a 12'],['a 2','a 3'])

(it is a cuple of charachters before the number.)
can i sort by numbers anyway?

> return string.rjust(str(self.text(col)),2)  # CHANGE THIS

maybe modify the str(self.text(col)) with an regExp or something to
force to sort by numbers?

Best regards,
Teodor
