The SortField objects take the name of the
field in the object to be sorted as a String – so your dot _expression_
will not work.
What you can do is write a custom
compareFunction for your Sort object. A compareFunction takes two objects and
returns -1, 0, or 1 depending on which order the two objects should be sorted.
The ASDoc for Sort.compareFunction has the function signature and a good
example so check that out for more info.
Your custom compareFunction can access
top-level and sub-properties on each object and then sort accordingly.

Subject: [flexcoders] Problem with
Sorting
Hey everyone,
I have an array collection of Industry objects which are all
sub-industries. Each industry object has as a property a parent
industry (of datatype Industry);
Industry VO contains properties:
industryId : int;
parent : Industry;
name : String;
I want to sort the array by the parent industry first, and then the
children industries names.
I was going to do something like:
var sort : Sort = new Sort();
sort.fields = [ new SortField("parent.name", true), new
SortField("name", true) ];
...but this isn't working.
Is there any way of going deeper than just immediate properties for a
sortfield?
Brennan
