    When Sorting strings in a listbox is there an easy way to make sure that it doesnt put "10" and "100" next to each other? When ever I set sorted to true I get things like this:
    "10"
    "100"
    "11"

    I can roll my own sort if I must but I would rather find an easier way.

    BTW my list also contains non-numerical values.

    Thanks,
    Cthulhu Dragon

    I have heard that you can pad the "10" with a space in front " 10" so that it will sort correctly .
    This space for rent...

    just an idea

    You could put all your items in an array of fixed strings, and right align all items, using format function
    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
    To throw away OOP for low level languages is myopia, to keep OOP is hyperopia. To throw away OOP for a high level language is insight.

    I have made a DLL that sorts strings very fast.

    --------

    If You.Want("My Dll") Then
    SendEmail("[email protected]")
    Else
    You.SuitYourself("!")
    End If

    --------

    hehehe
