Take a look at the header file gtk-1.2/gtkclist.h.

At the bottom there are prototypes for the functions:

/* the column to sort by */
void gtk_clist_set_sort_column (GtkCList *clist,
                                gint      column);

/* how to sort : ascending or descending */
void gtk_clist_set_sort_type (GtkCList    *clist,
                              GtkSortType  sort_type);

/* sort the list with the current compare function */
void gtk_clist_sort (GtkCList *clist);

/* Automatically sort upon insertion */
void gtk_clist_set_auto_sort (GtkCList *clist,
                              gboolean  auto_sort);


It's been a while since I last used it but you need to
watch the "click_column" signal, when that is clicked you need
to set the sort column and call gtk_clist_sort()... I think.
I'm not 100% sure on this but I am sure it's in the right
direction. :)
