I've taken a look at CListCtrl and cannot figure out why
you need a randon-access index (the additional ordered indices
seem obvious enough.) Just to make sure, would you care
to explain how a random-access index would be used in your
situation? (thanks)

In case I finally write this, would you volunteer to test
a beta version of it to assess its usefulness?
