If you are using flex 2…can you not just use sortable = true inside your DataGridColumn tag and as far as the date formatting is considered use the dateFormatter like this:

1) Define a private function
private function dateLabel(item:Object, column: DataGridColumn) : String {
return dateFormatter.format(item[column.dataField]);
}

2) In the DataGridColumn just add labelFunction=”dateLabel”

This gives you freedome to choose the format you like…
