In Flex I'm using the following code to allow sorting in a DataGrid (the data is paged and sorted serverside).
private function headerReleaseHandler(event:DataGridEvent):void { var column:DataGridColumn = DataGridColumn(event.currentTarget.columns[event.columnIndex]); if(this.count>0) { if(this.query.SortField == column.dataField) { this.query.SortAscending = !this.query.SortAscending; } else { this.query.SortField = column.dataField; this.query.SortAscending = true; } this.fill(); } event.preventDefault(); }
This works perfectly, except that the arrows that indicate sorting isn't shown. How can I accomplish that?
Thanks! /Niels
There is an example here if this is what you are looking for: http://blog.flexexamples.com/2008/02/28/displaying-the-sort-arrow-in-a-flex-datagrid-control-without-having-to-click-a-column/
It looks like you need to refresh the collection used by your dataprovider.
