The List is simply the view for your data. You need to sort the dataProvider of the list so when the List is iterating over your data rendering it, it will be accessing the data in the order specified.
I would pull the data from lastResult, store it in an ArrayCollection or XMLListCollection(since it seems like you might be using XML), and then you can set the Sort on the collection as specified in the docs: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/mx/collections/Sort.html Sort also allows you to set a custom compareFunction if you need more than a simple ascending/descending sort on the dataFields.
