Sorting A ListView

Friday, 30 May 2003

This Visual Basic code illustrates how to sort a ListView control when a column header is clicked in Details view. The sort order is toggled between ascending and descending.

Private Sub ListView1_ColumnClick(ByVal ColumnHeader As MSComctlLib.ColumnHeader)
With ListView1

    ' Toggle the sort order.
    If .SortOrder = lvwAscending Then
      .SortOrder = lvwDescending
    Else
      .SortOrder = lvwAscending
    End If

    ' Sort by the column that was clicked on.
    .SortKey = ColumnHeader.Index - 1
End With
End Sub
