Hi, I have been facing this issue from quite a while now. I am using mx:datagrid control with column sorting true. Since i have been using XML returned from c#(returns string for each value of xml) i want this to be handled on Flex. I have binded the dataprovider correctly but sorting for the columns is treated as string even for columns which have decimal/float values. For eg. I want 47 to be displayed as 47.00 and treated as a floating number so that it can be sorted and placed correctly in the grid.
I tried to convert this with several methods but then they all return string which again is an issue for my requirement. Is there anyone who has come across such issue and can help me out on this.
