I have tried this code but it does not work perfectly, the .net framework is 4.5.1
The sort code
using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Windows.Forms;
namespace mp3dll
{
/// <summary>
/// Description of Class1.
/// </summary>
/// <summary>
/// This class is an implementation of the 'IComparer' interface.
/// </summary>
public class ListViewColumnSorter : IComparer
{
/// <summary>
/// Specifies the column to be sorted
/// </summary>
private int ColumnToSort;
/// <summary>
/// Specifies the order in which to sort (i.e. 'Ascending').
/// </summary>
private SortOrder OrderOfSort;
/// <summary>
/// Case insensitive comparer object
/// </summary>
private CaseInsensitiveComparer ObjectCompare;
/// <summary>
/// Class constructor. Initializes various elements
/// </summary>
public ListViewColumnSorter()
{
// Initialize the column to '0'
ColumnToSort = 0;
// Initialize the sort order to 'none'
OrderOfSort = SortOrder.None;
// Initialize the CaseInsensitiveComparer object
ObjectCompare = new CaseInsensitiveComparer();
}
/// <summary>

/// <returns>The result of the comparison. "0" if equal, negative if 'x' is less than 'y' and positive if 'x' is greater than 'y'</returns>
public int Compare(object x, object y)
{
int compareResult;
ListViewItem listviewX, listviewY;
// Cast the objects to be compared to ListViewItem objects
listviewX = (ListViewItem)x;
listviewY = (ListViewItem)y;
//a linha seguinte é executada muitas vezes na chamada subsequente, e
// ColumnToSort pode dar um erro de indexação
//a remoção desta linha resolve o problema...
MP3.dprintf("ColumnToSort "+ ColumnToSort);
// Compare the two items
compareResult = ObjectCompare.Compare(listviewX.SubItems[ColumnToSort].Text,listviewY.SubItems[ColumnToSort].Text);
// Calculate correct return value based on object comparison
if (OrderOfSort == SortOrder.Ascending)
{
// Ascending sort is selected, return normal result of compare operation
return compareResult;
}
else if (OrderOfSort == SortOrder.Descending)
{
// Descending sort is selected, return negative result of compare operation
return (-compareResult);
}
else
{
// Return '0' to indicate they are equal
return 0;
}
}

public SortOrder Order

}
}
}
}
The code in the form
void PlaylistColumnClick(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.playlist.Sort();
