If I use listboxes and file list boxes to do things for me that you could actually write in code....like alphabetizing a list or something, is it more work for the program to do?

I frequently put a list of strings in a listbox just so I can set the sorted property to true. Then I get a alphabetized list of strings, just like that. Every solution I have seen in code takes far more lines of code to do the same thing. I just make sure the visible property of the listbox is set to false so the listbox never shows.

Any comments on the way I am doing business? If there is something wrong with it, then I want to start doing it differently so I don't get in a bad habit.
