[Python] wxPython - How to sort ListCtrl column items?

I am trying to create an CheckListCtrl where you could sort all the Data in an column by clicking on its header.

In the basic example of my code i will post below i setup "rows" as a List of Tuples because in my final version the ListCtrl will show the result of an SQLite Query.

The problem i have with my code so far:

I used self.itemDataMap = rows wrong i think, i get this error message if i try to sort: TypeError: list indices must be integers or slices, not tuple. So how do i use it with an List of Tuples and not with an Dictionary?

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

class TestUltimateListCtrlPanel(wx.Panel, listmix.ColumnSorterMixin):
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, "Make")
self.list_ctrl.InsertColumn(1, "Model")
self.list_ctrl.InsertColumn(2, "Year")
self.list_ctrl.InsertColumn(3, "Color")

rows = [("Ford", "Taurus", "1996", "Blue"),
("Nissan", "370Z", "2010", "Green"),
("Porche", "911", "2009", "Red")
]

index = 0
for data in rows:
pos=self.list_ctrl.InsertStringItem(index, data[0])
self.list_ctrl.SetStringItem(index, 1, data[1])
self.list_ctrl.SetStringItem(index, 2, data[2])
self.list_ctrl.SetStringItem(index, 3, data[3])

self.list_ctrl.SetItemData(index, rows[index])

index += 1

self.itemDataMap = rows

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)
panel = TestUltimateListCtrlPanel(self)

if __name__ == "__main__":
app = wx.App(False)
frame = MyForm()
frame.Show()
app.MainLoop()
