Sorting Items

Items in a list view column can be sorted in ascending or descending order. Items in a container appear in the same sorting order as the items in the parent container. You supply a callback (DataBrowserItemCompareProcPtr) to handle sorting. Your callback can perform simple sorting or more complex sorting, such as the following:

• Sort containers in a hierarchical list independently of each other

• Use secondary and tertiary sorting

In either of the complex cases, your callback must keep track of previous sort operations and preserve sorting orders for secondary and tertiary items.
