I was asked how to move items in a listbox up and down, to place then in any order of my choice.
Here's one way of doing it. You need two buttons, I named them 'buttonUp' and 'buttonDown', and ofcourse a listbox named 'List1'. Then all you have to do is select the item you wish to move, and press the up or down button. Great for playlists.

Private Sub buttonDown_Click()
Dim nItem As Integer
With list1
If .ListIndex < 0 Then Exit Sub
nItem = .ListIndex
If nItem = .ListCount - 1 Then Exit Sub
.AddItem .Text, nItem + 2
.RemoveItem nItem
.Selected(nItem + 1) = True
End With
End Sub
