>             Project: Apache Flex
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: ADG:MultiColumnSorting
>    Affects Versions: Adobe Flex SDK 4.1 (Release)
>         Environment: Affected OS(s): All OS Platforms
> Affected OS(s): All OS Platforms
> Language Found: English

> Steps to reproduce:
> Create an advanced datagrid with custom columnRenderer and Custom header renderer.
> (In my application, i have to recreate the columns in the datagrid every time i fetch data from backend.)
>  Actual Results:
> During this process we get a null pointer exception.
> TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

> When i build my application with SDK 3.5, this bug does not exist. But with SDK 4.1, this is consistently reproducible.
> More detailed inspection into the AdvancedDataGrid source code shows the following insights.
> In the method mx.controls.advancedDataGridClasses.AdvancedDataGridSortItemRenderer.getFieldSortInfo(), error happens in the following line:
>    return grid.getFieldSortInfo(grid.columns[listData.columnIndex]);
> Here grid.columns[listData.columnIndex] returns null. In short, listData.columnIndex has value higher than the actual number of columns (not supposed to happen)
> Work Around / Proposed Solution
> -------------------------------
> If we can put a null check around grid.columns[listData.columnIndex], this issue will get fixed.
> Can we get this fixed as soon as possible.
