Different sorting in ListView

Question

Hi!
I have got an app with two pivot pages that displays a list of flowernames in Norwegian and in Latin. How do I get to sort the ListViews in the two PivotItems differently? In the first PivotItem I would like to sort by the name column and in the second
PivotItem I would like to sort by the Subtitle column.
Thanks, Sigurd F
<Pivot x:Uid="AppTitle" Title="*Flores" >
<PivotItem x:Uid="PivotNorwegian" Header="*Norsk namn" DataContext="{Binding Groups}">
<ListView
ItemsSource="{Binding}"
IsItemClickEnabled="True"
ItemClick="GroupSection_ItemClick"
ContinuumNavigationTransitionInfo.ExitElementContainer="True">
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Margin="0,0,0,5">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Title}" Style="{ThemeResource ListViewItemTextBlockStyle}"/>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>
</PivotItem>

Hi Sigurd F,
Based on your description, I can see that both of your two ListViews have bound to a same DataContext in the xaml, then I will recommend you do the binding in the .cs code to let sort the ListView become easily. The following is a simple example about
how to sort the two ListViews by the first letter of the name column or Subtitle column, please try to check it:
First I have defined the following class for data binding:
public class test
public string name { get; set; }
public string Title { get; set; }
public string Subtitle { get; set; }
Aftet that we can use the List OrderBy method to sort the ListView by the first letter of the name column or Subtitle column:
List<test> MyList = new List<test>();
MyList.Add(new test() { name = "aa", Title = "vv", Subtitle = "rr" });
MyList.Add(new test() { name = "bb", Title = "dd", Subtitle = "aa" });
List<test> MyList1 = MyList.OrderBy<test, string>(Item => Item.name.Substring(0)).ToList();
MyListView1.ItemsSource = MyList1;
List<test> MyList2 = MyList.OrderBy<test, string>(Item => Item.Subtitle.Substring(0)).ToList();
MyListView2.ItemsSource = MyList2;
