Layer Sorting in Geometry Checker plugin

[DrRichLangford]

What is the bug or the crash?

I am using 3.32.1 Lima under Windows 10. I have seen the closed post "Layer Sorting in Toolbox Multiple Selection #32963" saying the issue was fixed in 3.14. I have read about a possible solution to the sorting issue using QgsMapLayerModel in Python, but without detailed instructions find this difficult to understand. Using Check Geometries, part of the list is sorted, and part is random, so hunting for one layer to check can be slow. Is this an issue that was fixed in 3.14, but no longer works, or is it an entirely different problem? The screenshot shows the bottom of the sorted list and top of the random list.

Steps to reproduce the issue

Hi @DrRichLangford, thanks for reporting. It seems to me the issue you are reporting is about a different dialog window and tool than the one reported at https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/issues/32963.

I now see what the issue is in the Check Geometries box. The upper part is a list of SHP files, sorted, and the lower part is a list of GPKG files, unsorted. The listing is keeping SHP and GPKG separate, not sorted as one.

@DrRichLangford seems ok in master:

Can you confirm it, please?

[DrRichLangford]

No change after reinstalling LTR. No obvious reason for the sort order. Not based on file type (point, line polygon, shp, gpkg) or date, and not by order in Layer listing. Some parts are sorted, then nothing is sorted, shown by the top and bottom parts of the list.
