Thanks Eljay, I might just use this myself

Detecting a column click and then manually sort the list is still a workaround.

If Plus! scripting supported real callbacks you could use the proper Windows APIs to do the job in one go.

Now you need to read the entire list, sort it manually, and put everything back in the list. This is a very very very slow method, especially on larger lists.

Anyways, you might be interested in:
[Question] ListViewControl - Numeric sortable Columns

But if I used the LVM_SORTITEMS message to do the sorting, it wouldn't clear the list to sort but simply move the items, wouldn't it?

But that is exactly what you should do with JScript anyway, you don't need to remove the lists, only replace them

Take a close look at the thread Cookie linked to and you should be able to see how cookie said that in the final post.

Okay, so I took a look and came to the conclusion that it's a good alternative if I can't come up with a better programmed DLL. (if my VS2005 wants to install...) But I still have one question left: what about flipping the sorting? And can we add (and change) the icon displayed next to the column header which indicates the sorting direction? Like in a "real" ListViewControl?

I know this is almost not possible, but because you always have a no and can get a yes, I thought I'd better ask.

Flipping and sorting (in other words, changing between ascending and descending order) can be done by making the changes that cookie has said in the last post on the linked thread and you can change the column headers using the function you posted in the tips thread the other day.  This is the exact method that i was going to use.....

Note: callbacks will be supported in 4.51 so that should solve that problem.
