I think as the sort happens, the child indexes will change.
I'd wrap the collection so that it iterates in reverse order. ________________________________ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Amy Sent: Friday, August 08, 2008 7:06 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Sorting XMLListCollection by childIndex() Hi, all; I'm using an XMLLisCollection as the dataprovider for a bar chart. For some reason a bar chart draws the bars from bottom to top, rather than from top to bottom. This puts my data upside down, and the order is important in this application. I'd rather not change the data itself, so I need to sort the XMLListCollection. All the information I have on sorting shows using sortField. I need to sort on childIndex(), which is a method in e4x. Has anyone successfully sorted an XMLListCollection by childIndex? This is what I've tried, and it seems to just sort randomly var reverseSort:Sort= new Sort(); reverseSort.fields = [new SortField ('childIndex()', true, true)]; _data.sort=reverseSort; _data.refresh() }
