TListView.SortType Property

Determines if and how the items in the list are automatically sorted.

Pascal

property SortType: TSortType;

C++

__property TSortType SortType;

Description

Set SortType to specify the order of items in the list. If SortType is not stNone, the list items in the Items property are automatically sorted. Once a list view is sorted, the original order is lost. That is, setting the SortType back to stNone will not restore the original order of items.

Note: If SortType is stData or stBoth, provide an OnCompare event handler to compare data values.

Note: If the list view uses work areas, sorting items only compares each item to the other items in its work area.
