Here's my following code:
It sorts properly and highlights the selected sorting column. I know that to do multiple sorting in a single template column you just add another link button with the new field to be sorted like similar to what this is doing here: http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/grid/examples/generalfeatures/columntypes/defaultvb.aspx?#qsf-demo-source .The issue i see from that demo and my page is that it no longer highlights the sorted column if i add another link button in the header template. My question is how do i set it that it highlights if i select either sorting button?
<
telerik:GridTemplateColumn
UniqueName
=
"UserName"
DataField
=
"FirstName"
DataType
=
"System.String"
AllowFiltering
=
"false"
SortExpression
=
"FirstName"

<
HeaderTemplate

<
asp:LinkButton

runat
