Re: [flexcoders] DataGridColumn sortCompareFunction arguments dua l personality

Thanks Matt, had grabbed wrong end of the stick on that one.

Much closer now. Noticed that the compare callback for sortItems doesn't get the third array flags argument mentioned in the docs - I was going to see if that would specify ascending or descending order, worked around by having separate sort functions for each direction.  I'm trying to track the sort column and ascending/descending as instance properties in my view - this almost works but under some conditions the arrows in the header get out of sync with my asc/desc property. Is there a way to dig into the header_mc property of the datagrid and force the up/down arrow to display one way or the other?

Thanks,
Robin

Dig into DataGrid and look for
sortDirection, sortIndex (I think) and placeSortArrow. The latter being the
only one thats documented. sortDirection may also help with your ascending/descending
issue.
