I want to create an ultimate list ctrl based table where the user can sort the columns by clicking on the column header. Here's the code I attempted:

import wx
import wx.lib.mixins.listctrl as listmix
from wx.lib.agw import ultimatelistctrl as ULC

APPNAME='Sortable Ultimate List Ctrl'
APPVERSION='1.0'
MAIN_WIDTH=300
MAIN_HEIGHT=300
 
musicdata = {
0 : ("Bad English", "The Price Of Love"),
1 : ("DNA featuring Suzanne Vega", "Tom's Diner"),
2 : ("George Michael", "Praying For Time"),
3 : ("Gloria Estefan", "Here We Are"),
4 : ("Linda Ronstadt", "Don't Know Much"),
5 : ("Michael Bolton", "How Am I Supposed To Live Without You"),
6 : ("Paul Young", "Oh Girl"),
}

    def __init__(self, parent):
        wx.Panel.__init__(self, parent, -1, style=wx.WANTS_CHARS, size=(MAIN_WIDTH,MAIN_HEIGHT))
 
        self.index = 0
 
        self.list_ctrl = ULC.UltimateListCtrl(self, -1, agwStyle=ULC.ULC_REPORT|ULC.ULC_HAS_VARIABLE_ROW_HEIGHT)
        self.list_ctrl.InsertColumn(0, "Artist")
        self.list_ctrl.InsertColumn(1, "Title", wx.LIST_FORMAT_RIGHT)
        self.list_ctrl.InsertColumn(2, "Download")
 
        items = musicdata.items()
        index = 0
        for key, data in items:
            pos=self.list_ctrl.InsertStringItem(index, data[0])
            self.list_ctrl.SetStringItem(index, 1, data[1])
            #self.list_ctrl.SetStringItem(index, 2, data[2])
            button = wx.Button(self.list_ctrl, id=wx.ID_ANY, label="Download")
	    self.list_ctrl.SetItemWindow(pos, col=2, wnd=button, expand=True)
            self.list_ctrl.SetItemData(index, key)
            index += 1
 
        # Now that the list exists we can init the other base class,
        # see wx/lib/mixins/listctrl.py
        self.itemDataMap = musicdata
        listmix.ColumnSorterMixin.__init__(self, 3)
        self.Bind(wx.EVT_LIST_COL_CLICK, self.OnColClick, self.list_ctrl)
 
        sizer = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)
        sizer.Add(self.list_ctrl, 1, wx.ALL|wx.EXPAND, 5)
        self.SetSizer(sizer)
 
	
    def GetListCtrl(self):
        return self.list_ctrl
    
    #----------------------------------------------------------------------
    def OnColClick(self, event):
        pass

class MyForm(wx.Frame):
 
    #----------------------------------------------------------------------
    def __init__(self):
        wx.Frame.__init__(self,None,wx.ID_ANY,'%s v%s' % (APPNAME,APPVERSION),size=(MAIN_WIDTH,MAIN_HEIGHT),style=wx.MINIMIZE_BOX | wx.SYSTEM_MENU | wx.CAPTION | wx.CLOSE_BOX | wx.CLIP_CHILDREN)
 
        # Add a panel so it looks the correct on all platforms
        panel = TestUltimateListCtrlPanel(self)
 
#----------------------------------------------------------------------
# Run the program
if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = wx.App(False)
    frame = MyForm()
    frame.Show()
    app.MainLoop()

Clicking on the column does not sort the 'Artist' or 'Title' fields. I want to be able to sort them when the user clicks on the column headers. Please help.

This is how it looks like

This question is in all of the other forums and so has probably already been answered.
