Because when an item has been modified, either externally or through an item editor, the sort order indicated by the column's sort indicator (the arrow at the top) may have become invalid. The DataGrid has two options here: (1) remove the sort indicator, or (2) resort the collection with the new data. It chooses to resort. One workaround is to listen for the 'itemEditBeginning' event and reset the sort order on the collection. itemEditBeginning="dataGrid.dataProvider.sort = null" This won't remove the sort arrow though -- a small discrepancy. I think this is a usability problem. The DataGrid should disable automatic sorting when the user is editing the cells; otherwise, the cells will move about every time the user tabs from one cell to another, and that's not a very nice experience.
