Is it possible to completely remove the sort arrows on an AdvancedDataGrid header?

I know that you can kinda do this by using

<mx:AdvancedDataGrid sortExpertMode="true"/>

and I even tried using

<mx:AdvancedDataGrid sortExpertMode="true">        
<mx:columns>
    <mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn sortable="false" />

This doesnt work because I have an automatic sort whenever one of the group items are opened. So the grid starts of great looking like this

and when we open a group we are greeted by this fiendish triangle in the header

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I just set the sortItemRenderer property to null and it worked like a charm.

<mx:AdvancedDataGrid id="myADG" sortItemRenderer="{null}" />
