now the sort is working for the second tab User Chat and when i change

        def GetListCtrl(self):
            return self.list_ctrl2 

to

        def GetListCtrl(self):
            return self.list_ctrl

the sort is working for the first tab Contacts info after clicking to a column but i want to make them work simultaneously how i am going to make it?

Is wxPython still around?

Is wxPython still around?

Yes still alive.
Lastet officale oppdate is(25-Dec-2013) wxPython (classic) 3.0.0.0

It will soon be ready for Python 3,work is going on Project Phoenix
Work well for Python 3,to test it out look here

Post a simple example of what you want to do. 276 lines of code is too much as we are trying to guess from your code what you are trying to do. Note that no sorting is done in the code below and in fact the functions are not necessary as they just return an existing variable.

    def GetListCtrl(self):
        return self.list_ctrl2 

    def GetListCtrl(self):
        return self.list_ctrl
