Ah, I read it wrong then... The problem is that the component/object will be created/completed well before the data is populated. I've also removed the header from the function (header="0") and I actually only have one "visible" column in the datagrid. I'm using the dataGrid as sort of an advanced list object. Is there a way to sort as items are placed in the arraycollection?

The code you have will only be called when you click on the column header. To sort when first shown you will need a creation complete function where you would create a new sort and refresh. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> , "Scott" <h...@...> wrote: > > Take this scenario: > > > > ..... > > > > [Bindable] public var acAppts:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection(); > > > > private function sortDate(itemA:Object, itemB:Object):int > > { > > return ObjectUtil.dateCompare( itemA.dtCreated,itemB.dtCreated); > > } > > > > > > ....... > > > > <mx:DataGrid x="0" y="20" width="{CELLWIDTH}" height="80" id="dgAppts" > headerHeight="0" dataProvider="{acAppts}" wordWrap="true" > editable="false" disabledColor="#c3c7c7" enabled="{!bDisabled}" > visible="{!bDisabled}" itemRollOut="deleteToolTip(event)" > > itemRollOver="createToolTip(event)" > itemClick="ShowReservationDetails();" change="sortArray()" > > > <mx:columns> > > <mx:DataGridColumn dataField="szReservation"/> > > <mx:DataGridColumn dataField="dtCreated" > sortCompareFunction="sortDate" visible="true" /> > > </mx:columns> > > </mx:DataGrid> > > > > > > I should be sorting on the dtCreated field which is a date.
