wxListItem is a class with the following members:
The {\bf m\_stateMask} and {\bf m\_state} members take flags from the following:

+information: for this you need to call one of SetTextColour(),

-Sorts the items in the list control.
+Call this function to sort the items in the list control. Sorting is done
+using the specified {\it fnSortCallBack} function. This function must have the
+following prototype:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+int wxCALLBACK wxListCompareFunction(long item1, long item2, long sortData)
+\end{verbatim}
+
+It is called each time when the two items must be compared and should return 0
+if the items are equal, negative value if the first item is less than the
+second one and positive value if the first one is greater than the second one
+(the same convention as used by {\tt qsort(3)}).
+
+\wxheading{Parameters}
-fn is a function which takes 3 long arguments: item1, item2, data.
+\docparam{item1}{client data associated with the first item ({\bf NOT} the index).}
-item1 is the long data associated with a first item (NOT the index).
+\docparam{item2}{client data associated with the second item ({\bf NOT} the index).}
-item2 is the long data associated with a second item (NOT the index).
+\docparam{data}{the value passed to SortItems() itself.}
-data is the same value as passed to SortItems.
+Notice that the control may only be sorted on client data associated with the
+items, so you {\bf must} use \helpref{SetItemData}{wxlistctrlsetitemdata} if
+you want to be able to sort the items in the control.
-The return value is a negative number if the first item should precede the second
-item, a positive number of the second item should precede the first,
-or zero if the two items are equivalent.
+Please see the \helpref{listctrl sample}{samplelistctrl} for an example of
+using this function.
-data is arbitrary data to be passed to the sort function.
+\pythonnote{wxPython uses the sortData parameter to pass the Python
+function to call, so it is not available for programmer use. Call
+SortItems with a reference to a callable object that expects two
+parameters.}
