I'll double-check this tomorrow, but I think it is not so much an  
issue of it being added backwards, but that the item is not  
automatically sorted when it is added. I took a couple tries at  
getting it to sort when an item is added with no luck. I do intend to  
try again to get this working, but for the moment, this is a  
limitation of the native control.

Yes, sorry, I received another report about this just the other day.  
I hope to have time to work on a fix in the next few days.

The easiest way at the moment would be to switch back to the generic  
version using the system option "mac.listctrl.always_use_generic".  
You can do so by using the wxSystemOptions class, documented here:

http://www.lpthe.jussieu.fr/~zeitlin/wxWindows/docs/ 
wxwin_wxsystemoptions.html#wxsystemoptions

In the meantime, I'll try over the next week or two to plug some of  
the holes I didn't have time to get to before 2.8.0. ;-/

Kevin
