here is my sample code

<HTTPService id="srv" url="myxmlsource.php" method="POST" useProxy="false"
resultFormat="e4x"/>


<XMLListCollection id="xc"
source="{srv.lastResult.image.url}"/>


<localisplayShelf id="shelf" horizontalCenter="0" verticalCenter="0"
borderThickness="5" borderColor="#FFFFFF" dataProvider="{xc}"
enableHistory="false" width="100%"/>

now my array is in xc (this application is part of a image viewer but I need
the images in order)

how can I accomplish this please be very specific as I can't claim to be very
good with flex

Hi,

Please check out the sort function provided by Array. Please find more details at the URL below.

Hope this helps.

Sorry I still don't understand I've tried adding the function .sort();
everywhere I think its defined but I'm having _no_ luck

there's a link to the original source code I've only modified it to read from
a php generated xml file
unfortunately I really don't know my way in flex need someone to shine a light
on this for me

Thanks for your time

bump : ( this must be a simple fix for someone who understands flex
