Auto sorting listview after item changed

Question

Hi,

I can't find the way to do this.
I've already implement sorting columns, and that is working fine... but if i try to call listview.Sort() on ListViewItemChanged event, nothing happens.

Any ideas?
Thanks!.

Answer 1

There are two things I want to suggest. First, use Refresh with such interventions (before and after sorting, I guess). Secondly you may consider reattaching the DataSource after you sorted.

Answer 2

there's no datasource to reattach.
Refresh doesn't work either.

Answer 3

You know, about 3 year ago, I recall vaguely, I tried to implement a multicolumn ListView and found if unworkable although it seems I had different problems: the members in the columns clustered in a weird way or something.

Thanks, AlexB, you are always so patient to help other people.

Hi Matias,

I found a sample below about how to sort a multi-column listview, when I add a new item, it can be sort automatically, perhaps you can try to refer to it.
