AS3 Array sorton() issue

I'm trying to sort an array of "tile" objects in as3 by the value of its "realY" property. This is my code:

    tiles.sortOn("realY", Array.DESCENDING);
    tiles.reverse();

    for each(var t:Tile in tiles)
    {
            trace(t.nearness);
    }

This is the output:

As you can see, there are some random small numbers at the end. Why is this happening? Thanks

Try using your sortOn like this:

tiles.sortOn("realY", Array.NUMERIC | Array.DESCENDING);

By default Flash is sorting in alphabetical order. Check the documentation for more info.

Besides that, you're tracing the nearness property, not the realY property you sorted. So maybe that's a problem too.
