Availability

Flash Player 6 (6.0 79.0).

Edition

Flash MX Professional 2004.

Usage

myDataGrid.sortableColumns

Description

Property; a Boolean value that determines whether the columns of the data grid can be sorted

(

true) or not (false) when a user clicks the column headers. This property must be true for

individual columns to be sortable, and for the

headerRelease event to be broadcast. The default

value is

true.

Caution: The DataGrid is not editable or sortable if it is bound directly to a WebServiceConnector

component or an XMLConnector component. You must bind the DataGrid component to the

DataSet component and bind the DataSet component to the WebServiceConnector component or

XMLConnector component if you want the grid to be editable or sortable. For more information, see

Chapter 14, “Data Integration (Flash Professional Only),” in Using Flash.

Example

The following example turns off sorting:

myDataGrid.sortableColumns = false;
