Refresh Component After sorting dataprovider

Hi,

I’m trying to refresh a custom component that displays a
dataprovider which I sort. Below is my code. Thanks in advance.

… // one of the sorting functions

private function sortOnDate():void

{

var sortDate:Sort = new Sort();

sortDate.fields = [new SortField("date", true, true), new
SortField("reviewer")];

reviewsCollection.sort = sortDate;

reviewsCollection.refresh();

//reviews = reviews.sortOn(“date”);

}

…

<mx:DateFormatter id=”df” formatString=”MMMM DD,
YYYY”/>

<mx:HBox horizontalGap=”4″ width=”100%”
horizontalAlign=”left”>

<mx:Label text=”Reviews” fontSize=”12″
fontWeight=”bold”/>

</mx:HBox>

<mx:VBox id=”reviewsBox” width=”100%” height=”100%”
minHeight=”0″ borderStyle=”outset” verticalGap=”0″
horizontalScrollPolicy=”off”>

<mx:HBox id=”header” paddingLeft=”4″ width=”100%”
backgroundColor=”#CCCCCC”>

<mx:Label text=”Rating” width=”100″
click=”sortOnRating();”/>

<mx:VRule height=”18″/>

<mx:Label text=”Reviewer” width=”120″
click=”sortOnReviewer();”/>

<mx:VRule height=”18″/>

<mx:Label text=”Date” width=”120″
click=”sortOnDate();”/>

</mx:HBox>

<mx:DataGrid id=”dg” dataProvider=”{reviewsCollection}”
width=”100%” height=”50%”>

<mx:columns>

<mx:Array>

<!– Something that shows that the data provider gets
sorted based on the reviewer –>

<mx:DataGridColumn dataField=”reviewer”
headerText=”Reviewer”/>

</mx:Array>

</mx:columns>

</mx:DataGrid>

<!– Custom Repeater Component that takes
reviewsCollection as the dataProvider –>

<ReviewThumbnailRepeater id=”rtr”
dataProvider=”{reviewsCollection}” project=”{project}”
width=”100%”/>

</mx:VBox>

</mx:VBox>

Here’s the question. How can I make the custom component
redraw after the data provider is sorted?
