Yea, you can definitely use your own sorting method, and mIRC does. What I don't get is the "that seems to be the standard sorting..." part. It isn't. mIRC is doing the sorting for the nicklist, and it's very easy to confirm.

A) Listboxes don't sort in the order @, %, + the way mIRC does. mIRC puts the most powerful nicks at the top. A Windows-sorted listbox doesn't know anything about that.

B)
/window -sl @listbox
/aline @listbox +stuff
/aline @listbox @stuff
/aline @listbox _stuff
/aline @listbox %stuff

This will show the real "default sorting" that Windows uses. And as you can see, it isn't the same as the nicklist.
