Tried to bump this earlier, must have done something wrong, but apologies if I double post. I'm bumping because I'm still having a problem with this. Can anyone help me out?

Valdhor you are a life saver. I hadn't found that first link in my searching and it cleared everything up for me. Thank you so much. I think that's twice you assisted me. I might owe you a beer soon.

Nothing is happening because the event has no context of the column that was
supposedly clicked, try adding more arguments into the createEvent method.
Having said that, this is probably not the recommended way of programmaticaly
invoking sort on the grid. Have a look around there we some threads about this
a few days ago.
Ideally what you want to do is update the sort property on your dataProvider,
this will dispatch events to the grid and it should draw itself correctly.

Check out the advancedDataGrid below in the ***s. After I group I loose the
sorting I applied to the dataprovider, and no matter what I try or when I
try it, sorting the dataprovider has no effect. But the user can sort by
clicking on a column header. So I want to simulate that click in a function
but I am having no success.
I'm trying this code in the ///s and calling it after I refresh the grouping
collection. I know this code isn't breaking with any sort of error cause the
Alert.show I fire right after it works fine. Anyone know what I'm doing
wrong?
gridTemplates.dispatchEvent(
new AdvancedDataGridEvent(
AdvancedDataGridEvent.HEADER_RELEASE,
false,
false,
0
)
);
Here's the AdvancedDataGrid:

The last argument in the function is the index of the column (0, which is the first, I have also tried 1 and 2 just to see if I could get something to happen. Sorting the dataprovider doesn't work with the grouping for some reason. If I need more arguments in the dispatch event, which ones do I need? --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, tntomek tnto...@... wrote: Nothing is happening because the event has no context of the column that was supposedly clicked, try adding more arguments into the createEvent method.
