Hey Steven,
I would be really surprised if that was possible.
Best way I found design-wise is 2 list boxes. One listing all your items and one empty.
A couple of buttons between them let the user add and remove items in the empty box and reorder them.

One example is in Internet Explorer. Go in Tools > Toolbars > Customize.
It might work or not depending on what you are doing but overall I found it's a good workflow in many situations.

My 2c!
Vincent

this is the first time i have tried to use list boxes and i have run into a hitch when using a list box in "siUIMultiSelectionListBox" mode. XSI is sorting the selected items. i dont want it to sort them. i want them in the order the user selected them. my list box looks like this...

1 Say_X_Oo
2 Say_X_E
3 Say_X_A
4 Say_X_Mm

if i select item 1, 3, 4, then 2 the string parameter that is tied to this list box looks like this...

paramMLBX = 1;2;3;4

i would prefer it look like this...

paramMLBX = 1;3;4;2

is this possible?

small screen shot attached, no matter what order i select these items in, the MLBX param is sorted in indexed order

thanks
steven
