Wow, John ... that was a tough one, took me awhile to figure it out. But, here's what's going on. If you look at the table in the debugger, it appears correct. Your row is getting added at the correct spot in the table. However, the listbox is actually based on the DefaultView of the table. And if you look at the DefaultView, you'll see that the row is actually last instead of inserted where you put it in the table.

The only solution I can think of is to set a View as your DataSource instead of the Table. And have a sort column in this View to keep them in the order that you're moving them around in. Hmmm ... I didn't say that too well, but I hope you know what I mean.
