instead of using a list, why don't you use a table as clicking on the top label of any column will automatically sort alphabetically or reverse alphabetically the contents of that column

just a thought

For VDS 4.5 and below, LIST SORT,XX is only for internal (invisible) string
lists (I think). You could also try creating the list with the sort attribute.

Code:

  LIST CREATE,LIST1,SORTED


As far as alternate methods go, you'll need to create/provided your own
implementation.

Hi, sorry for the late reply.

I have a visible list i need to sort both ways. Looks like writing something to do it maybe the only way.
