If your update your dataProvider... try a refresh to force the changes to show in the datagrid.
myArrayListCollection (changed data, or add filter, or add sort). Maybe like a myArrayListCollection.getItemAt(0).MyField = "New Value"; myArrayListCollection.refresh(); -Mark -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, May 02, 2013 2:12 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: programmatic sort for Spark datagrid, accounting for sort triangle state Thanks Mark, maybe I am seeing this bug. What I see in my app is that as I update the dataprovider for the datagrid, there's usually one column that does not sort when clicked on it. It doesn't relate to frequency of clicking, or the "3rd" click though. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kessler CTR Mark J" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, May 2, 2013 11:01:32 AM Subject: RE: programmatic sort for Spark datagrid, accounting for sort triangle state The gist of it was something like every 3rd header click within a certain duration of time... it wouldn’t update the sort display. It literally wouldn't react to it. I have a backup from a few months ago where I recreated the bug by accident. If there is enough interest, I could create test code to demonstrate the click bug. But it would take me a few hours to extract it from our test environment backups and scrub proprietary code away from it. -Mark -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, May 02, 2013 1:05 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: programmatic sort for Spark datagrid, accounting for sort triangle state Hi Mark, can you include a link to the "click bug" or describe what it is? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kessler CTR Mark J" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, May 2, 2013 9:57:08 AM Subject: RE: programmatic sort for Spark datagrid, accounting for sort triangle state I've gone down the road of the sort arrows many times. Manipulating the datagrid.columnHeaderGroup.visibleSortIndicatorIndices never seemed to work for me. It really is inconsistent and the columns themselves have a to change with the sortDescending to get the direction. Then there is that click bug that makes some of the sort arrows not update properly. For an application developer it may be easier to create a modified GridColumn that includes a new custom sort property. Then modify the skin to check for that property and the sortDescending to get the direction. Just use preventDefault to disable the internal sort arrows -Mark
