/This has been discussed in Apache JIRA: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-35222/
I spent sometime to implement a custom approach to the FlexJS DataGrid sorting. At this moment it's in it's very initial stage but able to do column sorts at runtime along with notification icon (ascending/descending). I've uploaded all my class files to the related JIRA issue (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-35222) and I'm looking forward for advises if I'm on right track and if it sense to continue my effort. Will glad to hear your suggestions. As an initial description to the implementation, following are the classes that I planned: *PNDataGridButtonBarButtonItemRenderer:* The class extended by ButtonBarButtonItemRenderer which creates the button component as column header and listen to it's click event. The class override to pass our custom events with requisite information; along with showing an icon for ascending/descending sort position. *PNDataGridColumnSorter:* A bead which can be added to DataGrid component class, and should supply with same field references as we supply for PNDataProviderChangeNotifier class - sourceID, propertyName - the class reference holding the ArrayList collection to DataGrid, and the field name for the ArrayList respectively. The class catches the event fired by PNDataGridButtonBarButtonItemRenderer, sort the array per column index (from which column the event fired), updates the main ArrayList and also re-renders the DataGrid.
