Hi, You're better off wrapping the XMLList in an XMLListCollection and use that as the dataProvider for the DataGrid. XMLListCollection is a ListCollectionView for the underlying source and will retain the sort order when you click on a DataGrid header. Using an XMLListCollection also gives you the added benefit of avoiding binding issues. You can also use a sortCompareFunction or use the XMLListCollection's sort function on the DataGrid's headerRelease event.
