thanks for the quick reply adatapost, but none of those threads help me..

actually i already have a code but it's only working with number and string not in a date(e.g October 13, 1983)

here is my code

Public Sub SortNumberListView(ByVal LstView As ListView, ByVal SortCol As Int16, ByVal Ascending As Boolean)
        Dim h As Int16
        Dim o As Int16
        Dim y As Int16

        Dim TempVarhoy As String

        With LstView
            For h = 0 To .Items.Count - 1
                For o = h + 1 To .Items.Count - 1
                    If Ascending = True Then
                        If Val(.Items(h).SubItems(SortCol).Text) > Val(.Items(o).SubItems(SortCol).Text) Then
                            For y = 0 To .Columns.Count - 1
                                TempVarhoy = .Items(h).SubItems(y).Text
                                .Items(h).SubItems(y).Text = .Items(o).SubItems(y).Text
                                .Items(o).SubItems(y).Text = TempVarhoy
                            Next
                        End If
                    Else
                        If Val(.Items(h).SubItems(SortCol).Text) < Val(.Items(o).SubItems(SortCol).Text) Then
                            For y = 0 To .Columns.Count - 1
                                TempVarhoy = .Items(h).SubItems(y).Text
                                .Items(h).SubItems(y).Text = .Items(o).SubItems(y).Text
                                .Items(o).SubItems(y).Text = TempVarhoy
                            Next
                        End If
                    End If

                Next
            Next
        End With
    End Sub

'here's my button code
Private Sub cmdbday_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdbday.Click
        Try
            If Not cbomfrom.SelectedIndex = 0 Then
                empsrchd.Open("SELECT * FROM tblemployee WHERE DOBm Like '" & cbomfrom.SelectedItem & "'AND role = '" & "active" & "'", db)
                empsrchd.MoveFirst()
                Dim bday As ListViewItem
                Do While Not empsrchd.EOF
                    bday = ListView1.Items.Add(empsrchd.Fields("firstname").Value, 0)
                    bday.SubItems.Add(empsrchd.Fields("lastname").Value)
                    bday.SubItems.Add(empsrchd.Fields("DOBm").Value)
                    bday.SubItems.Add(empsrchd.Fields("DOBd").Value)
                    bday.SubItems.Add(empsrchd.Fields("branchme").Value)
                    empsrchd.MoveNext()
                Loop
                cmdprintbday.Visible = True
                empsrchd.Close()
                Static Ascend As Boolean
                If Ascend = False Then
                    Ascend = True
                Else
                    Ascend = False
                End If
                SortNumberListView(ListView1, 3, Ascend)
            End If
        Catch ex As Exception
            MessageBox.Show(ex.Message)
        End Try
    End Sub
