I used rTree when I was trying to find a pre-built tree tool. It's pretty good. I think I actually got some code straight from the dev that wasn't posted publicly. I haven't used it in a long time. http://tapirsoft.on-rev.com/rtree/
As a side note, I just want to say that it's refreshing to see you have a hard time explaining something ;) I rewrote this reply a few times as I gradually figured out what you're asking for. So is the problem that TreeView doesn't let you control what order the branches are displayed in? It just dumps them out in a random order, or in a single order that happens to be the wrong one for your use case? Maybe there's a way to get it to sort by an invisible character? One that affects the sort but isn't actually displayed on screen?
