I may point out ,
that EnableSEOPaging is very handy, even if it is not for AJAX.

Hi Hajo,
This functionality is not supported out of the box for RadGrid. However, you can implement your own SEO sorting mechanism that will work together with SEO paging.
As an example, I have attached an implementation of a custom GridSEOSortPersister class. Instances of this class can be initialized in Page_Init, passing a RadGrid instance in the constructor. And this is all it takes to setup SEO sorting.
Inside the class, there are 2 main tasks that are handled:
1. RadGrid.DataBinding event is hooked up to apply SEO sorting before RadGrid binds. Inside the event handler, the QueryString of the Request URL is parsed to extract and build any specified sort expressions.
2. RadGrid.ItemCreated event is hooked up to modify the header cell of each RadGrid column. The event handler goes through all the sort buttons in the header and replaces them with Hyperlinks. The navigate URLs of these links are built accordingly to facilitate SEO sorting.
Effectively, SEO sorting works just like SEO paging. Each page/sort button is a link to the same URL with appropriate query strings. Check it out.
