visual basic for applications listbox sort

I'm trying to sort the contents of my listbox, but my version of VBA doesn't offer it as a property of the listbox (in the properties box).  What would the code be to do this?

Thanks

From where do you are populating list box in first place?
if use a range, sort the range.
If you do manually, add items in right order.
Hope it helps
Cheers
If listbox is populated  with ramdom values, populate a hidden range first, sort that range and use it as RowSource property.

Thanks for your response.  I am still a little unclear.  I'm new to VB.  This is where and how I am populating the listbox.

The available worksheets change at any time, so they need to select from a list of available worksheets.  This macro is for an excel spreadsheet by the way.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Private Sub UserForm_Activate()

For i = 1 To Worksheets.Count
    If UCase(Left(Worksheets(i).Name, 9)) <> "TEMPLATE_" Then
        If UCase(Worksheets(i).Name) = "LOG" Or UCase(Worksheets(i).Name) = "HELP" Or Worksheets(i).Name = ActiveCell.Worksheet.Name Then
        Else
            lstHolder.AddItem (Worksheets(i).Name)
        End If
    End If
Next i

End Sub
Instead of populate
lstHolder.AddItem (Worksheets(i).Name)

populate a hidden range, sort it and use
lstHolder.RowSource to that range
