[flexcoders] Re: Sorting XML number values in datagrid

[valdhor]

Create a numeric compare function like the following:

private function numericCompareFunc(itemA:Object, itemB:Object):int
{
     return ObjectUtil.numericCompare(itemA.itemToCompare,
itemB.itemToCompare);
}

Then set this function to the sortCompareFunction of your datagrid
column:

<mx:DataGridColumn sortCompareFunction="numericCompareFunc"/>

something like {1,5,100) turns into (1,100,5) because it is read a
string and not numeric.
