Hi, You can get the reference of sort arrow using: dataGridInstance.sortArrow
To hide arrow: dataGridInstance.sortArrow._visible = false; To show arrow: dataGridInstance.sortArrow._visible = true; You can use dataGridInstance.placeSortArrow(..) method to show arrow on column that is the current sortIndex. To sort a column( or set the sortIndex) you can call: dataGridInstance.sortItemsBy(fieldName, order) : Void To determine current sorting order, use dataGridInstance.sortDirection property. It returns either 'DESC' or 'ASC All these things have been discussed in past.

I have a DataGrid which allows things to be dropped in to it at arbitrary locations, which would change it to unsorted, but I can't figure out how to remove the sort arrow in the header to reflect the unsorted state. Also, is there a way to determine what the current sort order of a column is? It seems like each column keeps its own sort direction separately, so I've had luck just keeping my own array for sort order flags, but there is a chance that the two separate records will get out of parity, given the above case. Keep in mind that I'm doing entirely custom sorting of the datagrid's provider on the headerRelease event. (by setting sortableColumns="true" on the grid, and sortable="true" and sortOnHeaderRelease="false" on the columns) Thanks, Sean -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!
