 Hi all,

 Looking for a simple solution to properly sorting number values in a
datagrid.

 I'm sure many of you have run across this limitation.  Trying to sort
something like {1,5,100) turns into (1,100,5) because it is read a
string and not numeric.

 Suggestions?  Thanks,

 Alex

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/
