Sorting a listview by clicking different column headers

[bjwade62]

I can't seem to find a way to sort a listview based on which column header is clicked. For instance when I click on a column header that is assigned to file names I want it to sort alphabetically, and when I click on a different column header I want it to sort by date. Another column header for time...

Can anyone help?

Thanks,
Bernie

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

If .SortOrder = lvwAscending Then
.SortOrder = lvwDescending
Else
.SortOrder = lvwAscending
End If

.SortKey = ColumnHeader.Index - 1
End With
End Sub

That works for text but not numbers such as dates and file sizes. Any other suggestions?

Thanks for replying,
