Sorting Files and Folders in a listview

[ILMergeHelp]

Hi All,
I have an application similar to windows explorer.
The problem now is that am not able to sort the folders and files windows
explorer style
i.e. Ex All folders are sorted in alpha order and then the files.
basically grouping files and folders and sorting within the group.

If you look at the windows explorer sort style you will know what I want.

Has anyone implemeted such sort?
Any help, Code Donation or Links..

Greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,

There is a complete sample on MSDN what describe it, the only thing you
maybe want to do extra is sort on dates and more numeric, however when you
understand this, that that is easy to do.

I hope this helps.

Cor,
Thanks for the reply.
Am able to sort the items in the listview but I want to sort it Windows
explorer style.
Like grouping Folders and files separetly and then perform sort on the group
and with-in the group.

If you click on c:\winnt and sort you will notice that all the folders are
together and sorted and then the files are together and sorted I want to
implemet that functionality.
