ListView Sorting

[Curtis]

I am trying to do a simple sort on a list view.With the listview control the
first time I sort on the control it sorts the items but anytime after that
it fails to sort. I'm sure this is a simple answer but anyways here is my
code any help would be greatly apperciated.
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
lvTest.Items.Add("1001")
lvTest.Items.Add("5000")
lvTest.Items.Add("1002")
End Sub

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
lvTest.Sorting = SortOrder.Descending
lvTest.Sort()
End Sub
Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
lvTest.Sorting = SortOrder.Ascending
lvTest.Sort()
End Sub

Thanks,
Curtis

Hi, I think you need to have a column and view set to details for it to work
as you want. If you have a column and view set to details you can order the
listview by calling lvTest.Sorting = SortOrder.Descending or
lvTest.Sorting = SortOrder.Ascending, then there's no need to call
lvTest.Sort

well, I would like my list to use the LargeIcon view. So does this mean I
have to write some type of custom class to handle the sorting that
implements IComparable or is there a simpler way of sorting a listView
control that is using the largeIcon view. I simply want to sort by the
ListView Item Text either by descending or ascending.

Thanks,
Curtis

Curtis,

It is almost not writing it is just copying and pasting from the end of this
page..

The only problem in it is that it is only sorting alphabetical.
A nice challenge to change that as probably most of us did.
