    Is there anyway to sort the listbox using a different sorting that it's default? Like instead of sorting A, B, C and so on, can I alter it to sort for example A, C, B...?

    Making your own sorting order is possible but it will drain performance, why bother?
    Use
    writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
    writing haskell makes your life easier:
    reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13

    Kedman, I'd have to say your response was not very nice.

    Setting the Sorted property to True just doesn't always cut it. Why?

    What if you have a list of numbers, and you need them listed numerically? What if you need it sorted backwards? Notice the word NEED. When I was writing a program for a company, I NEEDED for the numbers to be numeric, and yes, while it is incredibly slow and annoying, there was a good reason for it.

    Hmm, it was not meant to sound offensive. That was not a retoric qwestion. Well i know you can sort things in other ways but you would need to create your own comparing method, and in vb that would just slow down the soring process considerably. Do you need this solved Concorde?
