Hi All,

I salvaged this function from help(Simple Sort using _GUICtrlListView_SimpleSort), notice the value '09857' stored as $aString when you click on any column to sort, it removes the preceding zero and the value 09857 becomes 9857.

Looking through the SimpleSort function I found this little gem:

For $Y = 0 To UBound($a_lv, 2) - 2 Step 1
    $v_item = StringStripWS(_GUICtrlListView_GetItemText($hWnd, $x, $Y), 2)
    If (StringIsFloat($v_item) Or StringIsInt($v_item)) Then
        $a_lv[$x][$Y] = Number($v_item)
    Else
        $a_lv[$x][$Y] = $v_item
    EndIf
Next

The problem is this same data is then placed back into the listview after sorting. A UDF can't mangle data types like this. If the function insists on the data conversion for sorting purposes, then it should be using some kind of parallel array to sort, then place the original data back into the listview.

You should probably open a trac ticket.

Looking at that chunk of code I noticed it's also stripping whitespace from the end of the text it's getting from the listview. I'm not sure why it was implemented that way, because I'm sure there are some people that have a LV with elements that have spaces after the text in a sub-item for whatever reason.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

I also noticed that. what I did was just to replicate the GuiListView.au3 and removed the lines that converts numbers stored as text to integer and the line that strips white spaces.

I have to do this because I'm using those values to look up in a database so a slight change would not return a value whenever I query something.
