Re: [flexcoders] DataGridColumn sortDescending property doesn't change after first two clicks on header

Thanks! Though everything works even when I postpone calculation to
commitProperties(). :)

  I assume you're cancelling the default sort, which is why the column's
sortDescending is never updated.

You'll have to get the actual sort order from the collection itself.

var descending:Boolean = false;
var s:Sort = collection.sort;
var fields:Array = s.fields;
for (var i = 0; i < fields.length; i++)
if (fields[i].name == dataField)
descending = fields[i].descending

// now you have the value
