Filtering XMLList used for DataGrid

Question

I'm using an HTTPService to load a database table into an
XMLList, which is then used as the dataProvider for a dataGrid. I
can't find anything online for filtering this datagrid , i can only
find stuff for filtering using an ArrayCollection, can someone help
me? I'd prefer not to have to send HTTPService requests back and
forth for filter the datagrid, I'd rather just filter the XMLList
that was loaded at the start of the application

Use a filterFunction on the dataProvider.
