sorting the columns in a listview
Hi all,
I am using a listview control which has 3 subitems. The first subitem has names, the second has subjects and the third has dates. When clicking the columns, I know how to order the two columns alphabetically but I have problems ordering by descending date. Ordering the date by descending order does not give the right order, somehow it seems to order by decreasing numbers, and not the dates. Any suggestions?? Thanks.

If you have a fourth hidden column and use Format(YourDateVals, "yyyymmdd") in this column and then order by this column then it should always sort properly.

Set this example:

You may need to customize the code a bit if you want to sort the date in dd/mm/yyyy format.
Hope this help
