Having USED a grid and seen the power of using cell-draw events to display rather than maintaining a list (instant speed increases all around - and BIG NOTICEABLE ones) I am certainly not going back, not while my program needs to handle an average of 12000 entries per session. That said, I haven´t studied your code in detail but the thought occurs to me that nearly every listview sort tutorial for delphi uses an assignment to the customsort event, just about nobody seems to use built-in sorts so perhaps the easiest way to get more compatible is simple to export the right properties from the LCL to ALLOW people to assign a customsort method - which would of course still have to be written by the user. This won´t implement tlistview.sort (for which mind you, your code may be a good start if you feel like working out how to make it a patch) but it WILL allow all those customsort based projects to work on lazarus.
