Excellent, setting the sortCompareFunction to my own sort comparer that did the comparison ignoring case worked perfectly. Thank you!

Hi,
You can use your own sorting method(algorithm) to sort entire grid. Or you
can apply your algorithm on a particualr column.
Look at "DataGrid.sortItems(sortFunc:Function, order):Void" method.
Also look at "DataGridColumn.sortCompareFunction:Function" property
DataGrid.sortItems(..) @livedocs:
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/15/asdocs_en/mx/controls/listclasses/Scr
ollSelectList.html#sortItems
DataGrid.sortCompareFunction @livedocs:
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/15/asdocs_en/mx/controls/gridclasses/Dat
aGridColumn.html#sortCompareFunction
A quick example to give you an idea..
##DataGridSortExample.mxml##
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml"
backgroundColor="#FFFFFF">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
function sortFunc(val1, val2)
{
val1 = Number(val1);
val2 = Number(val2);
if(val1 > val2) {
return -1;
}else if(val1 == val2) {
return 0;
}else {
return 1;
}
}
function getDGDP()
{
return [
{Artist:"Abdul", Album:"Classical Song",
Price:100.25},
{Artist:"Matt", Album:"Classical Song",
Price:200.25},
{Artist:"Manish", Album:"Rock", Price:300.33},
{Artist:"Sam", Album:"Rock Songs", Price:300.50}
];
}
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:Panel title="DataGridColumn Sorting Example" marginTop="10">
<mx:VBox>
<mx:DataGrid id="myGrid" width="350" height="100"
creationComplete="event.target.dataProvider = getDGDP();">
<mx:columns>
<mx:Array>
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Artist"

<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Album"
columnName="Album"></mx:DataGridColumn>
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Price"
columnName="Price"></mx:DataGridColumn>
</mx:Array>
</mx:columns>
</mx:DataGrid>
<mx:Button label="sort grid"
click="myGrid.sortItems(sortFunc);"/>
</mx:VBox>
</mx:Panel>
</mx:Application>
hope that helps

Subject: [flexcoders] Sort Order in a DataGrid
Might someone point me in the right direction for altering the sort order
method(s) for a DataGrid? It's currently annoying litteral. I'd like to
alter it so it is case insensitive. Currently the column orders somewhat
like this:
A
B
C
.
.
Z
a
b
c
.
.
.
z
while I'd like it to order like:
A
a
B
b
C
c
etc...
I hope someone can throw me in the right direction, thanks!
