Abobe Flex ArrayCollection Sort

This is a inbuilt functionality, which I used to sort the ArrayCollection.
I just wanted to put it here so this can be handy for my reference, ;)

public var availableRegions:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();
/* Create the SortField object for the "data" field in the ArrayCollection object, and make sure we do a numeric sort. */
var dataSortField:SortField = new SortField();
dataSortField.name = "name";
dataSortField.caseInsensitive = true;

/* Create the Sort object and add the SortField object created earlier to the array of fields to sort on. */
var regionDataSort:Sort = new Sort();
regionDataSort.fields = [dataSortField];

/* Set the ArrayCollection object's sort property to our custom sort, and refresh the ArrayCollection. */
availableRegions.sort = regionDataSort;
availableRegions.refresh();
