Never bind to array, and also when you call array.filter() it will make a duplicate Array, things you change there won't get changed in your source (depending on references etc). You don't need to totally change your code, just create a new ArrayCollection using your existing array as the source. Whenever you add or delete items using the ArrayCollection, it will update the Array for you, and when you set a filter on ArrayCollection it only updates when it needs to, it's pretty smart. Then you just bind to the ArrayCollection instead of the Array for the dataProvider of your List or DataGrid or whatever.
