Please check livedocs (http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/15/asdocs_en/). In DataGrid docs you will find the "sortArrow" property. I think, FlexBuilder's documentation also have Flex 1.5 ASDocs. Sorry, you are having trouble. But most of these things have been discussed in past, not sure why archives are not showing. But you can also search yahoo groups archives. We appreciate your feedback on our products and documentation.

I really think you folks did a great job with flex in general, but I am too frequently frustrated by the documentation... or the lack thereof. My project's deadline is coming up way too fast, and the holes in the documentation cost me many hours each week! I'm just hoping things continue to improve... I know it is only version 1.5. Perhaps I'm just used to Microsoft's excellent documentation for .net 1.1. Thank god you guys aren't Microsoft. Can you be more like Microsoft?

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!
