My point was only to refer to the inherent exclusive danger of open source
tools that Microsoft has had occasion to exploit, and that is the reliability
of a construct if derivatives aren't controlled as there root. And I'm
referring to the language not the classes. Requesting a feature change
I've moved this bug to https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-13808
since it is not related to the ActionScript compiler, it's only in the
Flex classes.

And I guess let me add a few other things.
1) With regard to the bug itself, I'm guessing that the issue is
that first item in the collection to be sorted has the null value. This
is causing an error because we can't determine what kind of comparator
to use by default. If your first
Matt:
Thanks for fixing the bug request.
Yes, all nulls seem to sort high, but that means if you click the
heading twice it always fails because the nulls sort to the top, and
the sort algorithm fails on the second pass.
One thing that could be done as a workaround, is to have the routine
Ralf:
The data has nulls in it. For example, one grid is equivalent to a
checking account, with deposits and checks. The column for the check
number is null for deposits. Another table has three different phone
number fields, not everybody has three phone numbers. Another table
has employee
Robert:
Yes this is an earnest request.
While I do not shrink from controversy if I believe it will get
things done, I don't needlessly whine either. I believe that it is
important to make sure that we help the developers of our tools
understand what is important to us consumers of the
Your use case seem very reasonable to me. In this particular case I
disagree with my esteemed colleague Alex (who sits across from me)... I
think our default sorting routines should handle null values. So please

So when we do go open-source next year, you will be able to offer
changes to the source code like the Sort code (but not the language
itself). Then Gordon and I and the rest of the team will duke it out
over whether your submission is reasonable, and if so, it or something
like it will be
