/**
* Provides the sorting information required to establish a sort on a field
* or property in a collection view.
*
* The SortField class is meant to be used with the Sort class.
*
* Typically the sort is defined for collections of complex items, that is
* items in which the sort is performed on properties of those objects.
* As in the following example:
*
* <pre><code>
* var col:ICollectionView = new ArrayCollection();
* col.addItem({first:"Anders", last:"Dickerson"});
* var sort:Sort = new Sort();
* sort.fields = [new SortField("first", true)];
* col.sort = sort;
* </code></pre>
*
* There are situations in which the collection contains simple items, like
* <code>String</code>, <code>Date</code>, <code>Boolean</code>, etc.
* In this case, sorting should be applied to the simple type directly.
* When constructing a sort for this situation only a single sort field is
* required and should not have a <code>name</code> specified.
* For example:
*
* <pre><code>
* var col:ICollectionView = new ArrayCollection();
* col.addItem("California");
* col.addItem("Arizona");
* var sort:Sort = new Sort();
* sort.fields = [new SortField(null, true)];
* col.sort = sort;
* </code></pre>
*
* <p>By default the comparison provided by the SortField class does
* not provide correct language specific
* sorting for strings. For this type of sorting please see the
* <code>spark.collections.Sort</code> and
* <code>spark.collections.SortField</code> classes.</p>
*
* @mxml
*
* <p>The <code>&lt;mx:SortField&gt;</code> tag has the following attributes:</p>
*
* <pre>
* &lt;mx:SortField
* <b>Properties</b>
* caseInsensitive="false"
* compareFunction="<em>Internal compare function</em>"
* descending="false"
* name="null"
* numeric="null"
* /&gt;
