[Lazarus] Strange Alphasort in ListView

[Vojtěch Čihák]

I understand. Method Sort; is protected (as it is in Delphi).
 
You have probably no other choice than do
 
 ListView1.SortDirection:=sdDescending;
 ListView1.SortDirection:=sdAscending;
 
which works but it is unefficient, sorting is done twice.
 
I tried:
 ListView1.BeginUpdate;
 ListView1.SortDirection:=sdDescending;
 ListView1.EndUpdate;
 ListView1.SortDirection:=sdAscending;but it doesn't help, sorting is still done twice (at least on Qt).ListView has some flags to avoid sorting but those flags are private.V.

Looked not in *primary* source (Google, Documentation) :)

Why I came to AlphaSort: in my source ListView is cleared (columns stays 
same) and populated with new info. After that current column (say 
SortColumn=1) is no sorted (Autosort is TRUE; tried in Qt, Gtk2 and Win) 
so I must somehow to trigger sorting. But how?
