[Solved] Basic sort not working

[Rhonda]

Hi all,

This is the first time I have used Telerik RadGrid and I am having trouble getting the basic sort to work.  I have a 5 column grid that is bound to an Entity Framework Entity.  I will post all my code below.  What is happening is, I click on the column header, I can see it go to the DelegateGrid_SortCommand code and the sortexpression and oldsortorder values look correct but after stepping out of the code the column is still not sorted.  BTW.   I got this code from the sample on the website.

I am not sure what I am missing.  I have 3 different grids on this page that will all need to have sort working.

Thanks in advance you for your help.

Hello,

please use Grid / Advanced Data Binding for binding the your grid.
Because its needed to bind again datasource to grid after sorting.

or
try below code

protected void DelegateGrid_SortCommand(object source, GridSortCommandEventArgs e)
  {
   ................
   .....................
      e.Canceled = true;
      PopulateDelegatesGrid();

  }

Thanks,
