This will pull the value of a simple combo box, then find that column in the datagrid, pull it to the first row, then sort it by that column.
Is there a way to "refresh" the datagrid without doing a sort?
***AS function code ***
private function pickColumn(selection:String, gridToSort:DataGrid):void
{
var swappedDataField:String = new String();
for (var i:Number = 0; i < gridToSort.columns.length; i++)
{
if (gridToSort.columns[i].dataField == selection)
{
swappedDataField = gridToSort.columns[0].dataField;
gridToSort.columns[0].dataField = selection;
gridToSort.columns[i].dataField = swappedDataField;
gridToSort.sortByColumn (0);
}
}
}
*** comboBox mxm ***
// "columndata" is a model of the column names/data fields; "grid" is the id of my DataGrid to affect
<mx:ComboBox dataProvider="{columndata}" id="addColumn" change="pickColumn( addColumn.selectedItem.toString(),grid)" />

Get the "columns" property, swap the elements, and set it back. That
should do the trick.
