Nothing is happening because the event has no context of the column that was supposedly clicked, try adding more arguments into the createEvent method.
Having said that, this is probably not the recommended way of programmaticaly invoking sort on the grid. Have a look around there we some threads about this a few days ago. Ideally what you want to do is update the "sort" property on your dataProvider, this will dispatch events to the grid and it should draw itself correctly. --- In [email protected], InvertedSpear <invertedsp...@...> wrote: > > > Check out the advancedDataGrid below in the ***s.
