This is unfortunate: it appears, that Qt has issues with matching date/datetime columns. It relies on the fact, that the date column matching is always based on the iso format of date/time: e.g. something like 2007-01-03T14:26:00. > Another example...set > filterColumn to "Date" > Type "12:" (no quote) into filterPattern. > Now keep switching filterSyntax from "regExp", "Wildcard", and > "Fixed String", and every time you get the same output...

No, that's fine. Even the fixed case does searching in contrast to matching. If you need the matching behavior, you may emulate it with RegExp and ^Sports. > Does this strike anyone else as odd? or am I just going crazy?..lol This leaves the date matching issue. Might be worth an enhancement request to add a localeAwareMatch flag to the QAbstractProxyModel class. Any takers?
