My TListView is populated with file names in the first column and their sizes in 
the second column. To sort the data in the columns I use certain code. Now I would 
like the second column sorted not by Ansi values, where 822 is greater than 1000, 
but by numerical values. The second column must behave like the first, which means 
that the first click sorts the values ascending and the next click sorts them 
descending. Can anyone help me?

Answer:

Start a new project, and drop a ListView on the form. Replace all of the unit's 
code with code listed below. Set the ListView1's OnColumnClick Event to point to 
the ListView1ColumnClick in the code and link the form's OnCreate to the 
FormCreate. Run the program. Every time you click on the "Column 2" header, the 
column will sort in the opposite order. Note, if you click too quick, it'll be 
considered a double click, and it's not set up for that. Also, if you click on 
Column 1's header, it'll sort alphabetically.
