Bug Description

BlackBerry Cascades (their Qml toolkit) provides a "ListHeaderMode.Sticky" property that would be very welcome in the Ubuntu Toolkit. I'll let their docs describe it:

"We also use the headerMode property to customize the behavior of the header items in the list. By using ListHeaderMode.Sticky, when the list scrolls and a header reaches the top of the visible area, the header stays there (or "sticks") as the list continues to scroll, until a new header reaches the top."

The Unity8 Dash seems to have an internal component that works in a similar fashion. Maybe it could be generalized:

is this the same as positioning the section label at start? see http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/qml-qtquick-listview.html#section.labelPositioning-prop

Hey Tim, Zoltan.

I don't think that what was requested was section label at start, as it seems to me only the last seen label is stick at start. I guess the request (at least, the one we can find on other platforms) is this one: https://github.com/emilsjolander/StickyListHeaders/blob/master/demo.gif

didrocks is correct. That's what I envisioned when originally making the request. It seems like a pretty common design pattern.

I think this is a great feature to add on listviews. When can we get this?

This is already possible with ListView, you can even do more complex stuff with it, attaching a full demo that explain the usage.

Can someone mark this as invalid ?
