ListView questions

[jy836]

Firstly, is there a way to find out which column header a user has clicked
on? And secondly, is there then an easy way (or any way, for that matter) to
sort the items by that column (either alphabetically or numerically)?

Thanks in advance.

on?

\\\
Private Sub ListView1_ColumnClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As ColumnClickEventArgs) Handles ListView1.ColumnClick
If e.Column Is Me.ColumnHeader1 Then
...
ElseIf...Then
...
...
End If
End Sub

There are many other samples on sorting of items in the Windows Forms
section of Codeproject too.
