That functionality is no longer available in FXRuby (if it ever was)
and I''m not sure what it would take to get it working. Without getting
too bogged down in the details (but I could if you''d like ;), the
basic problem is that the mechanism that FOX provides for overriding
the default FXIconList sorting algorithm doesn''t give us enough
context (on the Ruby side) to know which FXIconList it''s associated
with.
