Use sorting flags when sorting with multiple keys

 

// The first parameter is an array of the keys on sort. 
// The second parameter is sorting flag constant.

package{
  import flash.display.Sprite;
  
  public class Main extends Sprite{
    public function Main(){
        var aCars:Array = new Array();
        aCars.push({make: "O", model: "A", extColor: "blue"});
        aCars.push({make: "H", model: "A", extColor: "red"});
        aCars.push({make: "V", model: "D", extColor: "red"});
        aCars.sortOn(["make","mode","extColor"], Array.DESCENDING);
        displayArray(aCars);

    }
    function displayArray(aArray:Array) {
      var sElement:String = null;
      for(var i:Number = 0; i < aArray.length; i++) {
        sElement = "";
        for(var key in aArray[i]) {
          sElement += aArray[i][key] + " ";
        }
        trace(sElement);
      }
    }
  }
}
