Listview sorting by group of items

[fady_sayegh]

Hi all, i need to sort a listview based on the item tag property (as a category) in fact, the listview is populated with a folder content from windows explorer. when i click on the column header, i need to sort by name the folders and the after the files Example : the desired result MyFolder YourFolder MyFile YourFile instead of MyFile MyFolder YourFile YourFolder thanks for any idea, snippet code or a link best regards Fady Sayegh

The ListView class has, oh surprise, a Sort method. It offers a default sorting order, however it also provides a custom sorting order. MSDN holds the essential information, and one of my articles (see link in sig) deals with sorting in general, it does not mention ListView in particular. :)

Well your title "Sorting a Collection" only gives a small clue. ;)

Yeah, I spend most of my time searching for catchy, unexpected and mysterious titles, and yet I often fail at it. :)

Seriously? see here[^] There has always been a sort in list view. It is amazing that you are asking such a fundamental question.
