Sorting by Ascending and Descending Order

Question

Hello My program uses a list view to keep track of some information. There are multiple columns and I would like to be able to click the column header and have it sort in ascending order. If I click again it changes to descending order. I have used the following resource but when I click on the column header nothing changes. https://support.microsoft.com/kb/319401 Where is my issue?

I created a demo using the resource you have given in your question and its working for me. I think you have missed the column click event private void listView1_ColumnClick(object sender ColumnClickEventArgs e) { // Determine if clicked column is already the column that is being sorted. if (e.Column == lvwColumnSorter.SortColumn) { // Reverse the current sort direction for this column. if (lvwColumnSorter.Order == SortOrder.Ascending) { lvwColumnSorter.Order = SortOrder.Descending; } else { lvwColumnSorter.Order = SortOrder.Ascending; } } else { // Set the column number that is to be sorted; default to ascending. lvwColumnSorter.SortColumn = e.Column; lvwColumnSorter.Order = SortOrder.Ascending; } // Perform the sort with these new sort options. this.listView1.Sort(); } I am attaching my demo application here too. Hope that will help
