Re: CListBox sorting
Hi G,
You can just click on the Sort property and change it to True to get sorting
in a listbox, but I typically turn this off since I'd rather have the items
in the order I put them there (as you suggest here). I agree the CListCtrls
are more functional as well even though they are more trouble to set up.
For new stuff, these days, I'd be more likely to use a list control than a
list box even if it's only one column and doesn't need a header.

I can select sorting in my CListBox properties. But it only sorts
ascending.
Is it possible to sort descending?
I may be wrong, but I recall that CListBox custom sorting is not supported
"off the shelf", I mean: if you want to implement custom sorting in
CListBox, you should do that with your own code, 1) disabling CListBox
automatic sorting and 2) inserting new data into CListBox using your own
sorting method.
Instead, if you use listview control CListCtrl, it provides a better
mechanism for custom sorting. So you basically can implement your sorting
function (which is actually a comparison function, kind of strcmp, but for
generic item data).
