Datagrid (list) sortItemsBy issue

1

hey all,
so I have this code working in another part of my site but a couple of things have changed…

has anyone experienced issues with the sortItemsBy function? What is happening is that I have a button that switches the order of the contents of the grid. the problem is that it only switches on every second click.

here is the code


        column1_btn.onRelease = function () {
        
            if (this.sortDir != "DESC") {
                this.sortDir = "ASC";
            } else {
                this.sortDir = "DESC";
            }

            this.arrow_mc._rotation += 180;
            
            results_grd.sortItemsBy(column1Title, this.sortDir);
            
            //updateAfterEvent();
        }

lemme know,
cheers!
