Anytime that you use a filterFunction or sort on an ArrayCollection, it won't be executed until you use call the refresh method. Basically you're saying, ok filter and sort my collection now. It doesn't happen automatically. After #3, and anytime that items are added/changed/removed in the collection, execute the refresh method to re-filter/sort the collection. I'm not sure if this is going to solve your problem, because filtering the parent objects will probably take out the children as well. You may have to just create a new collection, from the original (excluding the parents), and use that as the DataProvider. But, give refresh a try first.
