In your "headerRelease" event handler:

                        import mx.collections.*;

                        var col:ICollectionView = event.target.dataProvider;
                        var s:Sort = col.sort ? col.sort : new Sort();
                        var sf:SortField;
                        if (col.sort && col.sort.fields) {
                                for each (var f:SortField in col.sort.fields)
                                        if (f.name == event.dataField) {
                                                sf = f;
                                                break;
                                        }
                        }
                        if (!sf)
                                sf = new SortField(event.dataField);
                        sf.caseInsensitive = true;
                        s.fields = [sf];
                        col.sort = s;
