TVM_SORTCHILDREN message

Sorts the child items of the specified parent item in a tree-view control. You can send this message explicitly or by using the TreeView_SortChildren macro.

Value that specifies whether the sorting is recursive. Set wParam to TRUE to sort all levels of child items below the parent item. Otherwise, only the parent's immediate children are sorted.

lParam

Handle to the parent item whose child items are to be sorted.

Return value

Returns TRUE if successful, or FALSE otherwise.

This message alphabetizes the tree items using lstrcmpi on the item name. You can use the TVM_SORTCHILDRENCB message to customize the ordering behavior.
