Displaying integers in a list wxpython listctrl
I have a ListX Ctrl list with five columns. Four of these strings are held, the last one has integer values. I save them as strings (ie "4", "17", etc.). However, now that I have added the ColumnSorterMixin so that I can sort specific columns in the list, I find, of course, that the integer column is sorted lexically and not numerically.
Is there an easy way to do this?

I think the most reliable way to create a custom sort is to use SortItems () in wx.ListCtrl. Note that you need to provide item data for each item (using SetItemData()
)
Just provide your own callback, say:
def sortColumn(item1, item2):
try:
i1 = int(item1)
i2 = int(item2)
except ValueError:
return cmp(item1, item2)
else:
return cmp(i1, i2)
Haven't tested, but something along these lines should work for all columns, unless you have a column where some values are strings representing integers and some are not.
