You need to create a custom comparer and assign it to the TreeViewNodeSorter property:

public class NodeSorter : System.Collections.IComparer
{
    public int Compare(object x, object y)
    {
        TreeNode tx = (TreeNode)x;
        TreeNode ty = (TreeNode)y;

        // Your sorting logic here... return -1 if tx < ty, 1 if tx > ty, 0 otherwise
        ...
    }
}


...

treeView.TreeViewNodeSorter = new NodeSorter();
treeView.Sort();
