Hello, thanks for the awesome code. My dataprovider is an XML Collection, and my datafield is often like “stats.sensors” which didn’t work. So here’s my little modification (part of):

var fieldDepth:int = fieldName.split(”.”).length;

var fieldsNames:Array = fieldName.split(”.”);

var value1:Number = (obj1[fieldsNames[0]][fieldsNames[1]] == ” || obj1[fieldsNames[0]][fieldsNames[1]] == null) ? null : new Number(obj1[fieldsNames[0]][fieldsNames[1]]);

i had a generic sort fn…and a specific sortCompareFn for every numeric column, that was just getting the dataField out and calling the generic fn. But this tip made it even more generic and saved a few lines of code! thank you!
