I pasted the following code into an empty class module and named it
cSortStrings.

I bet you didn't try more than 555 strings, because K(0).Items will
return only
the first 555 (MaxSubItems). Your SortedList property won't work reliably.

The array inside the class is usually going to be bigger than the number
of
items, so use the Count property to tell you how many slots are actually
filled.

The simplest approach would be to try
For i = 0 to cSort.Count
ListBox1.AddItem cSort.Item$(i)
Next i


Thanks Steve,
Right, I have actually a very small set of strings in the app I'm using this
in now.(very simple in-house utility)
I'm such an idiot, I saw the item and count properties and was just too
stupid to see the obvious simple way you show above.
Thanks
Mark
