Use a complex custom sort in ListView

Question

I can't find how to add custom sorting to WPF ListView control? I don't need to sort by columns asc or desc, I need a custom one with some algorithm in it?

can you help me?

Thank you!

use ObservableCollection as ItemsSource and sort your collection in whatever logic you want... it will reflect on UI — Nitin Purohit

You can use CustomSort property on ListCollectionView provided that you implement IComparer for your class:

//somewhere in code behind of your window:
var view = (ListCollectionView)CollectionViewSource.GetDefaultView(Items); //Items is an ObservableCollection<T> 
view.CustomSort = new MyComparer(); //MyComparable implements IComparer

Any control bound to your Items such as ListBox will display elements in order.
