Hello Tamil,

You can programmatically sort a DataGrid at any time by simply adding a new SortDescriptor to the DataGrid.

For example, this code clears any current sorting and then adds a new sort for "FirstName".

// Clear any existing sorting
dataGrid.SortDescriptors.Clear();

// Sort the DataGrid by the "FirstName" property
dataGrid.sortDescriptors.Add(new PropertySortDescriptor { PropertyName = "FirstName" });

That means you can definitely use a Button click event handler or a Page OnNavigatedTo method to do that:

private void MyButton_OnClick(object sender, EventArgs args)
{
    dataGrid.SortDescriptors.Clear();
    dataGrid.sortDescriptors.Add(new PropertySortDescriptor { PropertyName = "FirstName" });
}

You can review the DataGrid documentation for more information UWP DataGrid Documentation | Overview | Telerik UI for Universal Windows Platform

Navigation Specifics

I don't know what you're referring to about navigation. Any app navigation you want to perform is outside of the responsibility of the DataGrid and any sorting operations.

If you just want to apply a sort when a page is first navigated to, then you just use the Page OnNavigatedTo method or Page Loaded event handler to do your programmatic sorting.

If you have any questions about navigation or passing parameters in your navigation, I recommend opening a post in the new Microsoft Q&A Forums or StackOverflow instead of here.
