If the things you are adding are not in sort order, then you no longer really want the collection to be sorted. You could use a concatenated collection to join the new items while the others remain sorted like I did in this post: http://blogs.adobe.com/aharui/2008/03/custom_ilists_combobox_prompts.htm l
Or you can simply grab the old dataprovider via toArray() into a new collection without a sort and add your new items at the beginning. ________________________________ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of superabe superabe Sent: Tuesday, May 27, 2008 5:08 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] add item to the top of a sorted datagrid Is there any way to add new items to the top of a sorted datagrid? I know how to add stuff to a datagrid/provider, but am unsure about how to keep the new item at the top of the datagrid and not have the underlying sort kick-in. TIA - superabe
