When working with DataGrid ItemRenderers, you can say something like itemrenderer="Text", and Flex will know how to deal with the data.
Is there anyway you can do this with a sortCompareFunction, e.g. sortCompareFunction="Numeric" or sortCompareFunction="String"? The reason is that I have some simple datatypes (Integers and Strings) that are nested (e.g. time.start), and thus require using a labelFunction instead of simply specifying a dataField. A result of which is that Flex does not know how to sort them anymore. I can write a sortable function for Integers and Strings, but I'm pretty sure this has already been done. Any ideas? Any help would be appreciated. :) Thanks! Keith
