Flex AdvancedDataGrid - ColumnOrder 与 Formatter 和 ItemRenderer 专家问题

Question

I have a advanceddatagrid that has around 15 columns. Some are string,
some are numbers. I have shown 4 columns below.
The number columns have formatting done for zero precision and 2
digits precision.  The itemRenderer is just to show Blue Color if the
number is +ve and Red Color if the number is -ve.
It looks something like below

<mx:columns>
<mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn dataField="Name" textAlign"left"/>
<mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn dataField="Time" textAlign="right"/>
<mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn dataField="Score" textAlign="right"  formatter="{zeroPrecisionFormatter}" sortable="true"   itemRenderer="ColorRenderer" />
<mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn dataField="Average" textAlign="right" headerWordWrap="true" formatter="{twoPrecisionFormatter}" itemRenderer="ColorRenderer" />

...

I am trying to save the users setting of column order  when he closes
the application and reload with the same order when the user opens the
applications. I am using SharedObjects and below is the code.

for(var i:int=0; i< adgrid.columns.length;i++){
     var columnObject:Object = new Object(); 
     columnObject.columnDataField = adgrid.columns[i].dataField as String;
     columnObject.columnHeader =adgrid.columns[i].headerText as String;
     columnObject.width = adgrid.columns[i].width;
     columnArray.push(columnObject);
 }

and then I save the columnArray to SharedObject.

I retrive them using the below code

 for(var i:int=0;i<columnArray.length;i++){  
    adgrid.columns[i].dataField =columnArray[i].columnDataField;
    adgrid.columns[i].headerText =columnArray[i].columnHeader;
    adgrid.columns[i].width = columnArray[i].width;
    }

How can I save and reload the Formatter and ItemRenderer data .
I am having trouble saving the formatter and itemrenderer and
reloading it again.


I would really appreciate if you can shown the code. 
How can I reshuffle the columns but can preserve all the properties of it to though  sharedobject and recover it again.
