Re: [flexcoders] Re: generic sorts for DataGridColumns?
I'll throw in a bump on this one I'm trying to implement this myself and am finding it just as frustrating/useless as djbrown... a little love on the topic from Adobe would be appreciated.Thanks,Brendan
P.S. Looks like this kind of died a month ago... so did you have any luck dj?On 5/16/06, djbrown_rotonews

[flexcoders] Re: generic sorts for DataGridColumns?
I'm working on a very similar problem. When I specify the
sortCompareFunction on a DataGridColumn, it looks like it tries to
actually execute that function from the SortField. Try tracing
through and see for yourself...
It looks like it takes the column's datafield and creates a sortField
for it. Then sets the sortCompareFunction from the column as the
compareFunction on the sortField. In which case the SortField's
compare function should have a signature like this: (per doc)
code
function myCompare(a:Object, b:Object):int
/code
Hence the third parameter (fields) that we both seem to try to use is
always null?
There must be a simpler way that we are just not seeing. On a flip
side, I'm going to try to move towards the example in their documentation:
