Sorting a list

I'm having some difficulties trying to sort a struct list. The plan was, when a new item is added by the user that will go into the listbrowser. I'd like to sort it before i put it in the listbrowser. So the listbrowser is always in alphabetical order. Anyone have an good idea/example on how to archieve this?

AMybe not the best descrition,but i hope it was clear enough.

You could set the ln_Pri field of the list node to the ASCII value of the first character, and then use Enqueue() to add the node to the list.

Failing that, you could add the list back with SetAttrs(), call the LBM_SORT method, then refresh the gadget.

That will, however, only work if you don't use strings with a character set other than ASCII.

Take a look at YAM's source: http://trac.yam.ch/browser/trunk/src/MailList.c

The SortMailList() function will do exactly what you want. You just have to provide a suitable comparison function.

I got the sorting to work. But i have a small issue. There are 3 columns in the lister,but i only want to sort the last 2. The first one is just an entry counter,and should stay unsorted. Is this possible?

@Antique

You can retrieve the contents of each column with the GetListBrowserNodeAttrs function. Use this in your comparison routine.
