With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

Issue with Number sort in flex datagrid

Asked by SunilBhandari in Adobe Flex, ActionScript

Tags: Adobe Flex, ActionScript 3

Hi All,

I have implemented Number sorting as mentioned in the below(code).

I have placed the function that i am setting for the column that is to be sorted.

This column contains formatted amount (e.g. $2,000.00), so flex considers it as String and sorts the data as String.

In the function pasted below i am removing the formatting and then converting the unformatted string into a Number.

This function works fine when the amount of data is not large. i.e. < 1000 records in datagrid.

But when the records are > 1000, the sorting takes long time and most of the time the script takes more than 30 secs to run.

The reason here is that when the amount of data is large then the comparisons increase and the method which i am calling in this method gets called twice as many times as the numericSort Function.

This causes the delay and the error is thrown.

IS THERE ANY OTHER WAY TO IMPLEMENT NUMERIC SORTING WHICH IS LESS TIME CONSUMING THAN THIS WAY?

Please help as i need a solution to this urgently.

Thanks.
