ListViews In Reverse

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone knew a way to make a ListView add each new 
line to the bottom instead of putting each new item at the top (or 
possibly to keep things in numerical order according to what is in the 
first column...?).  I'm working on a payroll program for our contractors 
here, and we enter the information right off their paysheets, but it is 
displayed in reverse order in the program.  I ended up rearranging 
things myself, and it works pretty well...unless you delete something 
and add another entry.  Here is the code I used to display the data 
properly:            

count = getCount(ListView28)
lv3 = {}
lv3 = repeat(0, count)
lParams = repeat(0, count + 1)
for i = 1 to count do
    lv3[i] = getItem(ListView28, i)
end for
eraseItems(ListView28)
lParams[1] = addLVItem(ListView28, closefolder, lv1[1..4])
for j = 1 to count do--count to 1 by -1 do
  if length(lv3[j]) > 0 then     --need this to keep from crashing
    lParams[j + 1] = addLVItem(ListView28, closefolder, lv3 [j].4])
  else
    junk = message_box("Omitting item ",
    "Info", MB_ICONINFORMATION + MB_TASKMODAL)                    
  end if
end for

The "if length(lv3[j]) > 0 then" statement keeps the program from 
crashing, but it also deletes the entry at the top of the ListView.  Any 
ideas?

Thanks,
