Here’s an example of sorting a column of dates in a Flex DataGrid. The dates start out as Strings (such as “04/14/1980″) so you create a custom sortCompareFunction on that DataGrid column which converts the strings to dates so Flex will sort the dates in sequential order (as oppsed to string order). Hope that helps somebody out there.
I also created a little tooltip on the date column which shows the dates in a somewhat more readable form (”April 14 1980″) using the DataGridColumn object’s showDataTips and dataTipFunction properties.
Full code after the jump.
