Of course, reporting it against PyQt doesn't help, you need to report this
to Nokia, unless you can demonstrate that the equivalent C++ code has no
such problem. 

That being said, sorting is supposed to be done through a proxy model these
days, i.e. the view doesn't work on the "real" model directly.

Again sounds like a Qt (or style) bug.

Post a small runnable example that reproduces this, for example by
modifying one of the examples coming with PyQt.
