Function: qgsVariantCompare¶

qgis.core.qgsVariantCompare(lhs: Any, rhs: Any, strictTypeCheck: bool = False) → int¶

Compares two QVariant values.

Return type:: int
Returns:: < 0 if lhs < rhs, > 0 if lhs > rhs, or 0 if lhs == rhs

Useful for sorting lists of variants, correctly handling sorting of the various QVariant data types (such as strings, numeric values, dates and times)

Invalid < NULL < Values

Since QGIS 4.0 the strictTypeCheck argument can be used to specify that variants of different types should be compared using their userType ID only, and not attempt to check the actual variant value.
