Thanks Alex My sort was pretty simple & straight-forward, but I was doing something wrong. So eventually I ended up sub-classing the header renderer like you suggested & got it to work well. I actually used your Custom Header Renderer example to get me started: http://blogs.adobe.com/aharui/CheckB

I've also been having serious problems with tree nodes: auto-expanding child nodes and setting (highlighting) a selected node. MyTree.validateNow() was the answer to getting all of this working. What I did to get it working was: 1) Search my dataProvider for a particular item (returning an XMLList
