Hello saurabh,
Setting sort expressions through properties of nested objects is not supported currently by our web grid. This enhancement has been logged in our system to be considered for the next versions of the product.
A possible workaround would be to expose a property for your parent object which returns the value of the nested property and assign that outer property through the SortExpression of the column. I hope this is feasible for your case.

Hello Sebastian,
I'm also looking the feature discussed earlier in this thread. Can you confirm this has been implemented or not? If not is there any quick workaround ?
