I store multiple images path in listbox control.
protected void Button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        string[] files = Directory.GetFiles("C:\\temp\\images", "*.jpg");
        foreach (string cfile in files)
        {
            ListBox3.Items.Add(cfile);
 
        }
    }
images names are 1.jpg,  2.jpg .... 10.jpg, 11.jpg

but when i run above statement the listbox control will display
1.jpg
10.jpg
11.jpg

hi,
private void SortListBox()
  {
    List<ListItem> t = new List<ListItem>();
    Comparison compare = new Comparison(CompareListItems);
    foreach (ListItem lbItem in lb1.Items)
      t.Add(lbItem);
 
    t.Sort(compare);
    lb1.Items.Clear();
    lb1.Items.AddRange(t.ToArray());
 
  }
 
  int CompareListItems(ListItem li1, ListItem li2)
  {
    return String.Compare(li1.Value, li2.Value);
  }

Here's an example that might help you out:
 
ASPX

<asp:listbox id="ListBox1" runat="server" rows="7">
    <asp:listitem>G</asp:listitem>
    <asp:listitem>B</asp:listitem>
    <asp:listitem>E</asp:listitem>
    <asp:listitem>D</asp:listitem>
    <asp:listitem>A</asp:listitem>
    <asp:listitem>F</asp:listitem>
    <asp:listitem>C</asp:listitem>
</asp:listbox>
<asp:button id="btnSort" runat="server" onclick="btnSort_Click" text="Sort" />

CODE-BEHIND
private int CompareListItemsByValue(ListItem x, ListItem y)
{
    return x.Value.CompareTo(y.Value);
}
  
protected void btnSort_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    List items = new List();
  
    foreach (ListItem li in ListBox1.Items)
    {
        items.Add(li);
    }
  
    items.Sort(CompareListItemsByValue);
  
    ListBox1.Items.Clear();
  
    foreach (ListItem li in items)
    {
        ListBox1.Items.Add(li);
    }
}

void sort()
{
  //for sorting purpose
  List<int> s = new List<int>();
 
  //for adding items to it
  List<string> fileNames = new List<string>();
  string[] files = new string[4];
  files[0] = "1.jpg";
  files[1] = "10.jpg";
  files[2] = "12.jpg";
  files[3] = "2.jpg";
  foreach (string f in files)
  {
    //adding only filenames
    s.Add(int.Parse(f.Split('.')[0]));
  }
  //sorting
  s.Sort();
 
  foreach (int items in s)
  {
    //adding filenames with extension
    fileNames.Add(items + ".jpg");
