Hi, for using that kind of property you have to use 'mx_internal'.
I am putting the code here which can explore you mutch better.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import mx.collections.*;  
import mx.core.mx_internal;  
use namespace mx_internal; [Bindable] 
public var ac:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection([ {No:'1', Name:'Charl' },{No:
'2', Name:'Mark' },{No:
'3', Name:'James' },{No:
'4', Name:'Robin' }]);
private function onCreationComplete(): void{
dg.mx_internal::sortDirection ="DESC" ;}
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:DataGrid id="dg" width="350" height="200" dataProvider="{ac}" creationComplete="onCreationComplete()">
<mx:columns>
<mx:DataGridColumn dataField="No"/>  
<mx:DataGridColumn dataField="Name"/>  
</mx:columns> 
</mx:DataGrid>
Hope it will help you.
