When it comes to the button order, Qt follows the convention of the environment it is running in, i.e. Ok/Cancel on Windows, KDE, etc., and Cancel/OK on OS X, Gnome etc. That's generally a good thing, one shouldn't surprise the user with a button order other than the platform default.

However, if you have a good reason to override the platform default (I can't think of any) or if you are e.g. on an embedded platform where there is no platform default, you need to override what the used QStyle defines.

Implement your own proxy style, overriding the value returned for QStyle::SH_DialogButtonLayout:

int ProxyStyle::styleHint(StyleHint hint, const QStyleOption * option = 0, const QWidget * widget = 0, QStyleHintReturn * returnData = 0) const override {
   if (hint == SH_DialogButtonLayout) {
       return QDialogButtonBox::WinLayout;
   }
   return baseStyle()->styleHint(hint, option, widget, returnData);
}
