I think the error you are getting is because not all objects/nodes contain a date attribute. Normally, the sort code checks the first item to see if it has the sortField. That's probably why it works sometimes for you, depending on what the first node is.
When you use a custom compare function, the Sort code doesn't check to see whether the sortFIeld exists From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of sleblang Sent: Friday, September 05, 2008 9:03 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Datagrid - Sort Error Thanks. However, I looked at the code and it looks basically the same as mine with the only noticeable difference being the compare function. Is the compare function necessary if I am only sorting by one column (Date)?
