Hi Terry,

Well it does mean that you can have a mixture of sorted and unsorted nodes in the Treeview - but that seems like a pretty obscure requirement.

Another oddity is that the Sorted property has to be explicitly set to TRUE every time you want the a nodes children re-sorted - it behaves more like a method than a property. This does provide the ability to suppress resorting on each node addition which must reduce the time hit when adding a lot of nodes but it would be more logical to tackle this by setting Sorted FALSE for the duration of the additions
