You need to define a custom sort function. Tracy

Each element of the collection has the following format and I've no control over the format to change it. <f> <ra>blah</ra> <ro>blah</ro> <fs> <di>the name to filter on</di> <s>other stuff</s> </fs> </f> I am trying to sort on the node <di> so I've done the following var sort:Sort = new Sort(); sort.fields = [new SortField("di", true, true)]; and applied that to the dataprovider that contains the XMLListCollection and done the refresh. I doesn't do the sort but what it does do is swap the first element of the collection with another halfway through the collection (so if collection has 22 elements the is swaps [0] with [11]). If I do the sort on nodes such as 'ra' or 'ro' (new SortField("ra", true, true)]; or new SortField("ro", true, true)];) then they work fine so I'm presuming it's because the node 'di' is another level below the main children. Any ideas? Cheers. ________________________________ realise .
