    Description

      It's unclear if there is a possibility to use ListView's sectioning feature with ObjectModel which can contain arbitrary qml items without 'roles'.

      I tried to create additional property for every item in the ObjectModel which could be used as a section name, but it didn't work:

      ListView {
          section.property: "sectionName"
          section.delegate: Text { text: section }
          
          model: ObjectModel {
              Rectangle {
                  property string sectionName: "first section"
                  width: parent.width
                  height: 50
              }
          }
      }
      

      I've looked into ListView's source code and found that it uses model's 'stringValue' method (qquicklistview.cpp#1205) in order to get section names for every item in the list. That method returns string which will be the section's name (qqmlobjectmodel.cpp#281):

      return QQmlEngine::contextForObject(d->children.at(index).item)->contextProperty(name).toString();

      It always returns empty strings by some reason, what is more, contextForObject returns the same context for all items in the model no matter which index used.

      I've replaced the line above with this one:

      return d->children.at(index).item->property(name.toLocal8Bit()).toString();

      As the result, I've got sections worked at least for my specific case (I'm not sure this would work if ObjectModel contained Loaders)

      But the initial question remains unanswered: is there a proper way to use sections with ObjectModels in ListView? And, if not, can my small change of  QQmlObjectModel::stringValue() be used as a solution?
