...sort a TListView using the CustomSort method?
Author: Thomas Stutz
{
This example shows how to use the TListView's CustomSort method to
sort the items in the list using a ordering function.
This allows you to sort custom data in the correct order you want.
When the user clicks on a column header, the ListView will be sorted
by that column.
If the user clicks on the same column again, the sort order will be toggled.

Dieses Beispiel zeigt die Verwendung der CustomSort Methode einer TListView.
Damit kann man z.B Zahlen korrekt (d.h nach ihrer Grösse) sortieren lassen.
Wenn der Anwender auf den Kopf einer Spalte klickt, wird die ensprechende
Spalte sortiert. Bei nochmaligem Klicken auf dieselbe Spalte wird die
Sortierreihenfolge umgekehrt.
