Just incase, you come across this sample, you will find that Alejandro is talking the truth. For whatever reason the sortDescending property does not accurately reflect the sort order. For a good sample that works and shows the correct sorting order, take a look at http://blog.flexexamples.com/2007/08/23/determining-a-datagridcolumn-objects-current-sort-order/#more-117 It works as expected.

It works as expected.

Is it a bug? thx in advance Hi guys, someone knows why when i start clicking the datagrid header column, i receive two events with the same order? example:

label (sortDescending:false)
label (sortDescending:false)
label (sortDescending:true)

After the 3º click, the order ascending/descending starts to work correctly.

Is it a bug?
thx in advance

The code actually has the '\n' if you download source, but something in the HTML or WordPress template always eats my single backslashes. I doubled up the backslash so now it should appear properly above. Peter Alberto,

debug.text = column.dataField ” (sortDescending:” column.sortDescending “)” “n”;

At end, replace “n”; by “\n”;
