Hi, > Well, just out of curiosity, I decided to put the currencyFormatters and > Filters back in, and then I created two buttons and two button handlers that > would sort my arrayCollection both ascending and decending outside of the > datagrid and then refresh the datagrid, and about fell out of my chair.
Yes that would be faster as it’s not using the Spark data grid sorting code but basically using the same code the mx datagrid uses in the default case (i.e. what's in ListCollectionView). > and write 52 sorting routines for ascending and descending. It likely those methods can be reused for similar columns so probably not quite not quite that many as you think may be needed. > By the way, you may want to give a heads up to the team on the sorting of > large datasets on a spark datagrid. It isn't pretty. Both Alex and I are on the team, however given there workarounds and volunteer time is limited it may r may not get looked at. It may be a good idea to raise a JIRA [1] so the issue is not forgotten about, other people can easily find it if they run into it. Thanks, Justin 1. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX
