Apache flex Flex嵌套数组集合排序

我在另一个集合中嵌套了一个ArrayCollection。我需要按字段对子集合进行排序。 我尝试了以下代码。它对父集合有效，但对子集合无效

    // The Data 

public class Data
{
  public var value:String;
  public var otherValue:String;
  public var childrenData:ArrayCollection; // An array collection containing Data objects.
} 

// The sorting function 

private function sortData():void
{
  var records:ArrayCollection() = bla bla (init the collection with some Data objects).

  records.sort = new Sort();
  records.sort.fields = [
    new SortField('value', true, false)
  ];

  for each (var data:Data in records){
    sortChildren(data);
  }
  records.refresh();   
}

private function sortChildren(data:Data):void
{
  if (data.childrenData != null) {
    var srt:Sort = new Sort();
    srt.fields = [
      new SortField('otherValue', true, false)
    ];
    data.childrenData.sort = srt;
    data.childrenData.refresh();
  }  
}

我不知道我做错了什么，所以如果能提供一些帮助，我将不胜感激

提前谢谢，

我不太清楚为什么会这样。但是，看起来

sort

是继承到其子集合的

是否可以按

值和
其他值对
儿童数据中的元素进行排序？在这种情况下，可以使用
IHierarchicalCollectionView
对所有元素进行排序。请看以下示例：
