Assuming the XMLListCollection created from the myData XML object looks
like this:
public var col:XMLListCollection = new
XMLListCollection(myData.children());
Then you would sort on the category name like so:
private function applyMySort():void
{
var s:Sort = new Sort();
s.fields = [new SortField(@name)];
col.sort = s;
col.refresh();
}
As for your second question, we don't support e4x expressions in the
sort field. To get that behavior you'll have to write your own
compareFunction that compares on the values you desire. You'll find that
the mx.utils.ObjectUtil class has all the comparators you'd need to do
this.

Subject: [flexcoders] XMLList/XMLListCollection: sort on attributes
Hello List,
is there a way to sort a XMLList/XMLListCollection on their items
attributes?
What has to be done to sort the sample myData from Using the
XMLListCollection class [1] on the category name?
Or is it possible to sort when making an E4X query?
tia,
O.
