Hi,

You can manipulate the grid sort programmatically by creating instances of the GridSortExpression class and adding them to the SortExpressions collection.When the grid is first loaded on the page, it is sorted based on the GridSortExpression objects in the SortExpressions collection. If the SortExpressions collection contains multiple GridSortExpression objects, the table view is sorted first by the first GridSortExpression in the collection, then by the second GridSortExpression in the collection, and so on.

C#

 protected void RadGrid1_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (!IsPostBack)
        {
            GridSortExpression expression = new GridSortExpression();
            expression.FieldName = "ContactName";
            expression.SortOrder = GridSortOrder.Descending;
            RadGrid1.MasterTableView.SortExpressions.AddSortExpression(expression);
            GridSortExpression expression1 = new GridSortExpression();
            expression1.FieldName = "CustomerID";
            expression1.SortOrder = GridSortOrder.Descending;
            RadGrid1.MasterTableView.SortExpressions.AddSortExpression(expression1);
            RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Rebind();
        }
    }

Thanks,
