In the following example, rows with be sorted by their `lastName` role :

    SortFilterProxyModel {
       sourceModel: contactModel
       sorters: StringSorter { roleName: "lastName" }
    }

## Property Documentation

caseSensitivity : Qt.CaseSensitivity

This property holds the case sensitivity of the sorter.

ignorePunctation : bool

This property holds whether the sorter ignores punctation. if `ignorePunctuation` is `true`, punctuation characters and symbols are ignored when determining sort order.

Note: This property is not currently supported on Apple platforms or if Qt is configured to not use ICU on Linux.

locale : Locale

This property holds the locale of the sorter.

numericMode : bool

This property holds whether the numeric mode of the sorter is enabled. This will enable proper sorting of numeric digits, so that e.g. 100 sorts after 99. By default this mode is off.
