Thanks for the code guys - I've got my grid working now using a
sortCompareFunction based on Iko's.
I just thought that this functionality would be built in as it seems to be
for the Flash datagrid. This appears to have a
DataGridColumn.sortOptionsproperty with values such as
Array.CASEINSENSITIVE and Array.NUMERIC
(see http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/quickstart/datagrid_pt2/ )
Cheers,
Paul.

You could also create a sortCompareFunction, similar to this one
private function sfSortFunction(ob1:Object, ob2:Object) : int
{
var s1 : String = ob1.dataField.toString().toLowerCase();
var s2 : String = ob2.dataField.toString().toLowerCase();
if (s1>s2)
return 1;
if (s1 < s2)
return -1;
return 0;
}
