  Hi,
  Below is my requirement:
  I have a RadGrid with 10 columns. I need Client Side Sorting of all the columns.
  I have this Radgrid in a USer Control which is being used in many pages.
  Can you please send me a working sample of how this can be accomplished.
  Thanks

  Thanks Princy for the Reply.
  
  I tried the approach suggested by Shinu in the thread, but clicking on the header for sorting refreshes the screen (postback) and the grid disappears.
  I want the Sorting to be done on the client side without any postback.
  Also my data source for the RadGrid is a regular dataset.
  Can you please send me a working sample for the above scenario?
  Thanks
  Anantharaman

  Hi Anantharaman,
  
  
  With a regular dataset for the datasource it means that the sort command have to be executed on the server because the actual data that is bound to the grid is in a dataset structure on the server. So a postback is required in this case when you use server-side binding to a regular dataset.
  Another option is to try to utilize a client-side binding if it is applicable in your scenario. Detailed demo of it (including sorting) can be found here:
