Description

Steps to reproduce:
1. Run attached.

Although SortField does work as documented I don't think you should have to set a locale on every sort field.

var sort:Sort = new Sort();
var sortField:SortField = new SortField(dataField);

// This code shouldn't be needed. It should default to this.
//const resourceManager:IResourceManager = ResourceManager.getInstance();
//const locales:Array = resourceManager.localeChain;
//sortField.setStyle("locale", locales[0]);

sort.fields = [sortField];

Actual Results:

Error: Undefined locale

Expected Results:

Sort works using the default locale for the application.

Workaround (if any):

set the locale style in the SortField
