Sortable Listbox Example

A nice way to enhance your application is to give your users the ability to sort the contents of listboxes. If you have a listbox with many records, this feature could be much appreciated. It's easy to manipulate the listbox RowSource property to accomplish this. A command button could be used to add an "Order By" clause to the SQL statement, and once the RowSource property is updated, the list is automatically sorted.
