>>You should add a listener to the DataGrid
Nah, when you change the dataProvider for a datagrid, the datagrid fires
an event anyway.
All, I had posted I figured it out on my own, thanks anyway! Much
appreciated.
I used:
lobAdmins_dg.dataProvider.sortItemsBy("lob", "ASC");
Odd that there is a sortItemsBy for dataProvider, but a sortOn for
Arrays.
