Does your link bring you to another page that you then have to press back, or select the page again on the menu? Something like that could cause the grid to "forget" which order you sorted in. Also, when it "forgets" does it always end up sorting by the default sort settings? You could maybe be forcing a sorting order that takes precedence over the manual sorting you are doing within the grid.

hi,
actually one of these links are delete button, so it simply deletes one row from the grid, no navigation to a nother page happened.
the current scenario is when i click at this link button, the grid forgets the sorting order and end up by the default sort settings.

I'd say take a look at this demo: http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/grid/examples/client/clientdelete/defaultcs.aspx. Here you can delete and even do a post-back and the sorting order remains the same, which is what you are looking for right? Hopefully this helps!
