Hi, You can use your own sorting method(algorithm) to sort entire grid. Or you can apply your algorithm on a particualr column.
Look at "DataGrid.sortItems(sortFunc:Function, order):Void" method. Also look at "DataGridColumn.sortCompareFunction:Function" property DataGrid.sortItems(..) @livedocs: http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/15/asdocs_en/mx/controls/listclasses/Scr ollSelectList.html#sortItems DataGrid.sortCompareFunction @livedocs: http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/15/asdocs_en/mx/controls/gridclasses/Dat aGridColumn.html#sortCompareFunction A quick example to give you an idea.. ##DataGridSortExample.mxml## <?xml version="1.0"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml"; backgroundColor="#FFFFFF"> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ function sortFunc(val1, val2) { val1 = Number(val1); val2 = Number(val2); if(val1 > val2) { return -1; }else if(val1 == val2) { return 0; }else { return 1; } } function getDGDP() { return [ {Artist:"Abdul", Album:"Classical Song", Price:100.25}, {Artist:"Matt", Album:"Classical Song", Price:200.25}, {Artist:"Manish", Album:"Rock", Price:300.33}, {Artist:"Sam", Album:"Rock Songs", Price:300.50} ]; } ]]> </mx:Script> <mx:Panel title="DataGridColumn Sorting Example" marginTop="10"> <mx:VBox> <mx:DataGrid id="myGrid" width="350" height="100" creationComplete="event.target.dataProvider = getDGDP();"> <mx:columns> <mx:Array> <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Artist" columnName="Artist"></mx:DataGridColumn> <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Album" columnName="Album"></mx:DataGridColumn> <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Price" columnName="Price"></mx:DataGridColumn> </mx:Array> </mx:columns> </mx:DataGrid> <mx:Button label="sort grid" click="myGrid.sortItems(sortFunc);"/> </mx:VBox> </mx:Panel> </mx:Application> hope that helps -abdul ________________________________ From: Matthew Shirey [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, April 05, 2005 5:20 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [flexcoders] Sort Order in a DataGrid Might someone point me in the right direction for altering the sort order method(s) for a DataGrid? It's currently annoying litteral. I'd like to alter it so it is case insensitive. Currently the column orders somewhat like this: A B C . . Z a b c . . . z while I'd like it to order like: A a B b C c etc... I hope someone can throw me in the right direction, thanks! -- Matthew ________________________________ Yahoo!
