A collection is either sorted or not, and if there is a sort, it won't let you re-order. One way to allow re-ordering is, after a Sort (and the CollectionEvent.REFRESH event), copy the sorted results into an unsorted collection using toArray on the sorted collection.

In the reply the person who asked the question was told to turn off the Column Sort and that would do it but won't this reset the sort order back to default before allowing the drag ? I want to cater for the situation where the user might want to sort the DataGrid into reverse alphabetical order and then just drag the resulting first row to be the second one. Maybe I'm using the wrong method of turning off the column sort - I set the sort property of the ListColection DataProvider for the DataGrid to null and then refresh ? Any sugegstions please ? Thanks Chris
