Hello Sucheta,

You can specify the SortExpressions property collection declaratively to provide an initial sort order.
aspx:

<telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" AutoGenerateEditColumn="true" runat="server" >
            <MasterTableView .................>
                 <SortExpressions>
                    <telerik:GridSortExpression FieldName="EmployeeID" SortOrder="Descending" />
                 </SortExpressions>
                    .....................
</telerik:RadGrid>

Also refer the following documentation for more on sorting expressions.

Hi
I tried the code you gave.
It  gives me the following error.

Literal content ('<telerik:GridSortExpressionFieldName="ID"SortOrder="Descending"/>') is not allowed within a 'Telerik.Web.UI.GridSortExpressionCollection'

Any help is appriciable.
