Detailed Description

Pure text-to-enum helpers for sort directives used by \generatelist and \annotatedlist atoms.

These helpers live in QDocLib so that the QDocLib-pure content builder can parse sort directives without pulling in the driver-layer Generator header. The legacy Generator::sortOrder member delegates here, preserving legacy behavior at all call sites.

Function Documentation

parseSortOrder()

Qt::SortOrder Sorting::parseSortOrder ( const QString & directive )

nodiscard

Parses a QDoc sort directive into a Qt::SortOrder.

Returns Qt::DescendingOrder when directive is "descending" (exact match, case-sensitive). Any other value, including the empty string, returns Qt::AscendingOrder. This matches the legacy behavior of Generator::sortOrder, which accepts the atom's raw second-string argument even when it is the command's primary argument rather than a bracketed sort directive.
