Overview

This VI shows how to sort a multicolumn listbox when you click a column header.

 

Description

The main VI contains a multicolumn listbox. Clicking any header sorts the listbox by that column. The VI reorders all other columns to maintain row integrity. The top-level VI in the LLB passes a control reference for the listbox to a subVI that programmatically sorts the listbox.

 

Requirements

Software:

  • LabVIEW 2012 (or compatible)

 

Steps to Implement or Execute Code

1. Run the VI.
2. Click a column header once to sort that column in ascending order.
3. Click the header again to sort the column in descending order.

Great utility. It gave me some ideas and I took the liberty to make modifications to your code.
