I don't use ADG all that much, but the filter functions should get a "record" node for each call of the filter function. Have you used toXMLString() to trace out the item? Inside the filter function you can use any e4x expressions to traverse the xml, down into the child nodes or even up to parent nodes.
I am pretty sure you are not getting the entire dataProvider in the function. Do the trace.

This I think is the problem - the complete data provider is being passed into the item parameter of the filter i.e. the xml hierarchy in its entirety. I am presuming that the filter wants one "row" at a time so it can do its compare. Where do I have control of this? I am not sure I do since the only code is lstRepRankDrill.filterFunction = filterRepRankDtlChnl; The data provider is dataProvider="{lstRepRankDrill[0].record}" in order to dig into the XML hierarchy to get to the data.
