Hi Pavlina,

I used "Dynamically defining the structure of a statically-declared grid". Grid is defined on aspx but all of its columns are created dynamically. Just like I said, how can I make dynamic column have a sort for each column.
 
I already added code

boundColumn.SortExpression ="LastName"
boundColumn.HeaderButtonType = GridHeaderButtonType.TextButton

Just to make it work like the static column defined just like this one.

<telerik:GridBoundColumn SortExpression="LastName" HeaderText="LastName" HeaderButtonType="TextButton" DataField= "LastName" />

But to no avail. Header is not clickable.

Thanks again,
RJ

Never mind seems like I just need to add is AllowSort="true" on Mastertableview..

Though I encounter another problem.
My design for my grid is always editable like an excel.

Whenever I click on sort it makes my grid row readonly..
though I already added code on Radgrid1_SortCommand

For i=0 to RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Items.Count() -1
 Me.RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Items(i).Edit = True
Next
RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Rebind()

code has been executed successfully but it did not reflect.

Thanks,
RJ

Hi,

Usually the edit mode of the items is not kept when changing the page - please take a look at this demo. 
To achieve the required functionality, you could save it using an approach similar to the approach in the following help article:
Persisting the selected rows server-side on sorting/paging/filtering/grouping

I hope this helps.

Please refer to the same article and let me know where the word "SORT" appears.

I was referring to the article in the second post.

I cannot find the link http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/grdprogrammaticcreation.html posted in the second post.
The pages show "An error occurs while processing your request".
Can somebody provide me a link to sort a gridview in which the columns are added programatically?
Thanks
