Aldo, I found a bug in the properties for ListBoxes. The -sort property
must follow the -style property (if the style property is used) or else
sorting won't work. I am using AddString() now like you suggested instead
of InsertItem().
# sorting won't work
$List1 = $W->AddListbox(-name => "List1",
-sort => 1,
-style => WS_VISIBLE | WS_VSCROLL | 1 | WS_TABSTOP,
-left => 22,
-top => 48,
-height => 228,
-width => 280);
# sorting works
$List1 = $W->AddListbox(-name => "List1",
-style => WS_VISIBLE | WS_VSCROLL | 1 | WS_TABSTOP,
-sort => 1,
-left => 22,
-top => 48,
-height => 228,
-width => 280);
Regards,
Eric Hansen

sorry, the functionality is there, I just missed to specify how it works.
for an item to be automatically added in correct sort order, you must use
the Add() or AddString() method. if you use InsertItem() instead, the
string is appended at the end of the list and no sort is done.
the docs will be corrected, thanks for pointing it out!
cheers,
Aldo
