    Question

    Any of you out there know of an efficient way to sort a listbox on a column other than the first (which is what the Sorted property does)?

    For example, say the list box contains the following:
    -------------------
    ID001 - Betty
    ID002 - Charlie
    ID003 - Andy
    --------------------
    OK, I know that the name in each item begins in column 9 of the line. Is there an efficient way to sort these items so that the listbox displays:
    --------------------
    ID003 - Andy
    ID001 - Betty
    ID002 - Charlie
    --------------------
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Could you use a two-column ListView rather than a ListBox?

    I probably could, but if there was a way to do it with the listbox, I would prefer that.
