Dan -

Turns out doing it that way cause inaccuracies, for some reason sortDecending will report false too often. Checkout this post:

I think this would work and you do not have to make a callLater method…..

private function doHeaderRelease(event:DataGridEvent):void {
var dg:DataGrid= event.currentTarget as DataGrid;

trace(“column: ” + String(event.dataField));
trace(“descending: ” + String(dg.columns[event.columnIndex].sortDescending));
}
