The datagrid UI does not support multi-column sort. If you implement it, you should call preventDefault() on the headerRelease event so it doesn't attempt to do a single column sort.

But I couldn't find an answer to my problem in any of them. I'm atttaching a numerical sort to the Data Provider as described in the help (with sortFields and DP.sort an so on). When I specifiy a numerical sort to just one field of the Array Collection the sorting in the Data Grid works very well. But when I specify a numerical sort for different fields in the Array Collection, I see a number just next to the sort marker in the Header Column of the Data Grid and the sorting is just a normal text sort. Can somebody explain me this phenomenon ? _rico
