Not without a lot of work. Because Actionscript is single-threaded, you cannot update the display while the sort is doing its thing. You'd have to turn off the sort and create a timer or event based sorting scheme so you could show progress and update the UI. You may be able to use the pseudo threading example on my blog

Thanks Jason Crummack Easysoft Limited
