So I created a workaround for this issue. What I did was, using the jQuery Query String plugin, I replaced the "no-state" sort ("~") with the next ascending sort on page load. The one catch with this is if your default sort is descending then you need to hardcode the next sort on that specific column.

Here is my code for a grid with a default descending column (CreatedDate in my case):

$(function () {

var order = $.query.get('orderBy') == "" ? "CreatedDate-asc" : $.query.get('orderBy').replace("-desc", "-asc");

var orderstring = $('.t-sorted a').attr('href').replace("~", order);

$('.t-sorted a').attr('href', orderstring);

});

Here is the code for a grid with a default ascending column:

$(function () {

var order = $.query.get('orderBy').replace("-desc", "-asc");

var orderstring = $('.t-sorted a').attr('href').replace("~", order);

$('.t-sorted a').attr('href', orderstring);

});

Hopefully this might help a few people.
