Well lets take a look at file history. I'm using the googlesource views since github is blocked from work here. The SortField [1] and SortFieldCompareTypes [2] looks like they are safe. The GridColumn[3] has had a few modifications. Other than that it doesn't seem too bad.
Just remember when monkey patching to use the same pathing and file name from your project. Also try not to use RLSLs (of the spark library) or you will have to do a frame 1 load.... one of those first in wins situations. /spark/collections/SortField.as [1] https://apache.googlesource.com/flex-sdk/+/develop/frameworks/projects/spark/src/spark/collections/SortField.as [2] https://apache.googlesource.com/flex-sdk/+/develop/frameworks/projects/spark/src/spark/collections/SortFieldCompareTypes.as [3] https://apache.googlesource.com/flex-sdk/+/develop/frameworks/projects/spark/src/spark/components/gridClasses/GridColumn.as -Mark -----Original Message----- From: Oleg Konovalov [mailto:oleg...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, June 17, 2014 7:37 AM To: users@flex.apache.org Subject: Re: Changing sort type I wish I could do that! My company is very standards oriented and has just recently allowed to FB4.7 on Windows7, and from feedback I can see, lots and lots of developers are complaining about upgrade (mostly Eclipse4.x/FB problems - 64 bits, Flash, instability, can't launch,...). Since my team has several complex Flex projects (100K+ lines each) with many dependencies, it will take months to upgrade (if my boss reluctantly agrees), so in any case it's a long process... The bottom line is: it there another solution like sortCompareFunction implementation or anything else ? I need to fix it this week, not after Labor day ;-) On Tue, Jun 17, 2014 at 5:46 AM, Kessler CTR Mark J < mark.kessler....@usmc.mil> wrote: > You should probably upgrade.
