Having now taken a much more indepth look at tstringgrid, I think it could
work - but only at the cost of hugely complexifying my program - unless
somebody is really eager to do it for me, I don't think it's worth it. I
would rather help with implementing sorting for tlistview so I can have it
for my next version.
My feel btw: to keep code platform neutral, don't use the native sorting
methods, but do a sort based on pure data manipulation. I could even do that
in the app (as opposed to a clear and refill method) although that is harder
to do it is certainly not impossible and a quicksort is practically the first
algorithm any of us learned after all :)
