Sorry! Your right I gave you the labelFunction. For the
SortCompateFunction I had to capture the headerRelease event and
store the column that was sorted.
<mx:DataGrid id="dgResults" dataProvider="{results}" width="100%"
height="100%" headerRelease="sortHeader(event)" />
private function sortHeader(event:DataGridEvent):void
{
columnToSort = event.dataField;
}
private function sortColumnNumber( x:Object, y:Object):int
{
x[columnToSort] > y[columnToSort]
return ...
}
