Re: [SPAM] [flexcoders] XMLList question
I forgot I asked that question here too. I actually turned up a pretty simple function some dude developed to sort XML at http://freerpad.blogspot.com/2007/07/more-hierarchical-sorting-e4x-xml-for.html I then modified it a bit to do what I need and posted it here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1869964/flex-newbie-xmllist-question. It's essentially the same thing as your suggesting but I couldn't use the set children easily since I had multiple note names and I only wanted to sort one. ex: question answer sort=1/ answer sort=3/ answer sort=2/ defaultAnswer/ /question I only need to (and only can) sort answer nodes but need to keep the defaultAnswer around. Thanks for the help though, sorry I didn't post the answer I had found sooner. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Tracy Spratt tr...@... wrote: I don't believe you can sort an xmllist directly.
