Sort a listbox by a nondisplayed object field??

[Just Me]

I populate a ListBox with Objects (not Strings) that has a String field
(which is displayed) and an Integer field (which is not displayed).

I need to have the displayed items in the Listbox sorted. But sorted by the
Integer field not the displayed String.

Is there some way I can do that (in much the way a ListView can be sorted by
any column)

Thanks

Hi,

Two ideas:

1. populate a multidimensional array or arraylist or hash table with the 2
elements (the string and the integer); when the user clicks a button, sort
as specified and repopulate the listbox.
2. if you are sorting it as part of a static listbox in a form, thus no
user interaction, you can use the idea above to sort and then populate once
in the form's load event.

HTH,

Thanks, I used ArraySort to sort 2 single dimension arrays. Work good.

2. if you are sorting it as part of a static listbox in a form, thus no
user interaction, you can use the idea above to sort and then populate once in the form's load event.
