Maybe you should look at how you are creating that list in the first place and change that to put the number name first instead of the number first. Maybe we could help you do that if you'd bothered to provide that code.

Assuming that your list item type is a String, then you'd need to split on space and then join the String back in reverse order. Something along the lines of:

Code:

---

collection = collection.Select(Function(item)
                Dim parts() As String = item.Split(" ")
                Return String.Join(" ", parts.Reverse())
        End Function).ToList()

Thank you infinitely! that's it! i am looking for! thank you 1000x ! this forum and you are the best!
but my list is in a listbox what is the code in my case?

Your list can't START in a listbox. You can't type into a listbox, so the data has to have gotten there by some means. Make your changes on that source of the data rather than on the listbox.

Try this...

Code:

---

Dim newItems() As String = ListBox1.Items.Cast(Of String).Select(Function(s) s.Split(" "c).Last & " " & s.Split(" "c).First).ToArray
ListBox1.Items.Clear()
ListBox1.Items.AddRange(newItems)

---

But... The way to do it is not to add the wrongly formatted data in the listbox, then reformat it. The way to do it is to modify your collection before adding the items to your listbox

It's a hack... Not even a clever one :D

HTML Code:

---

Public Class Form1
  Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
      ' Set the caption bar text of the form. 
      Me.Text = "Hello Danzey"
      ListBox1.Items.Add("200")
      ListBox1.Items.Add("140")
      ListBox1.Items.Add("120")
      ListBox2.Items.Add("jack")
      ListBox2.Items.Add("nina")
      ListBox2.Items.Add("lisa")
  End Sub
 
  Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
      MsgBox(ListBox2.SelectedItem.ToString() + ListBox1.SelectedItem.ToString())
  End Sub
End Class
