GTK Iconview: List items in vertical order

[Tony_George]

Is there a way to list items vertically in GTK Iconview? I want items in multiple columns, but items should be listed top-to-bottom instead of left-to-right. Iconview doesn’t seem to have any property to set the orientation. Can we achieve this in some other way?

In above example, items a,b,c are ordered from left-to-right. How can I order them from top-to-bottom such that a,b,c are in the same vertical column?

GtkIconView does not support changing the reflowing orientation: it can only flow by rows, not by columns.

If you want vertical reflowing, you should look at GtkFlowBox instead.

Thanks for the clarification. Will try using FlowBox instead.
