    Rather than sorting my listboxes by the Text property of the ListBoxItems, I want to use the Value property.

    I understand that I'm going to have to do that server-side and I have no problem with that it's just that the following seems a lot of work...
    public partial class HierarchyMaintenance : System.Web.UI.Page
    {
        protected void ListBox_Transferred(object sender, RadListBoxTransferredEventArgs e)
        {
            e.DestinationListBox.Items.Sort(new ListBoxValueComparer());
        }
     
        public class ListBoxValueComparer : System.Collections.IComparer
        {
            int System.Collections.IComparer.Compare(Object x, Object y)
            {
                string xValue = (x as RadListBoxItem).Value;
                string yValue = (y as RadListBoxItem).Value;
                return Comparer.DefaultInvariant.Compare(xValue, yValue);
            }
        }
    }

    And if I want to sort by an attribute I would have to create a comparer for each one.

    It would be nice to be just able to write something like ...
    e.DestinationListBox.Items = 
    e.DestinationListBox.Items.OrderBy(i=>i.Attributes[    "MyAttribute"]);

    Or have I missed something?

    Hi Stuart,

    Yes, this would be a nice feature to add for RadListBox. We will consider implementing it.
