Since the filtering and sorting affects the iterator over the ArrayCollection, I believe you could create a new ArrayCollection, then do a "for each" over your current ArrayCollection, adding those items to your new AC. The result will be a new AC with references to the currently filtered and sorted items in ordered. Then you can apply your sorting/filtering to the new AC so it will affect any future iterations after adding items.
