Alphabetizing xml filled dynamic textfields

Question

So I am looking to alphabetize dynamically created textfield created using a for each loop and XML.
How would I go about this, I searched around and there isn't much about this, and now I feel like I haven't the slightest clue. The one post I found is missing it's own created Utilities class (I believe):
http://help.mfazio.com/?p=75&cpage=1#comment-39.
So where do I even begin?
Thanks for any help in advance! I'm still learning so the more you explain it, the more I learn (Thanks).

Answer 1

Thanks for helping me out, seriously!
Unfortunately, after testing, it didnt alphabetize, but it also produced no errors. Does it make any difference that these textfields are also placed into a movie clip?
I assume in this case no, since where I push it into the array, I can still call them individually. This is a time where I wish I had an error!
It seems that when I added a trace to sortByText, that is is not firing either.
Where I push them into the array:
                    public var tfA:Array=[];
                    public function ParseList(xmldata:XML):void
                    var nameList:XMLList = xmldata.Searchtext.Directory;
                    directoryScreen.directoryHolder.addChild(textContainer);
                    directoryScreen.directoryHolder.mask = directoryScreen.mask_mc;
                    for each (var nameElement:XML in nameList){
                    format.font = "Arial MT";
                    format.size = 24;
                    format.color = 0x006699;
                    format.align = "left";
                    var currTextField:TextField = new TextField();
                    currTextField.defaultTextFormat = format;
                    currTextField.appendText(nameElement.text() + "\n");
                    currTextField.y= -750+ textContainer.height;
                    currTextField.height = 32;
                    currTextField.width = 280;
                    currTextField.border = false;
                    currTextField.x= -200;
                    currTextField.selectable = false;
                    tfA.push(currTextField);                    
                    textContainer.addChild(currTextField);
                    trace(nameElement.text());
                    textContainer.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btnListener);
                    sortTF();
