I have a form with a RadGrid which is data bound to a DataTable as the page is loaded server side. I have defined my grid as :-
<telerik:RadGrid ID="gridParts" runat="server" AllowSorting="True" CellSpacing="0" Height="690px" OnSelectedIndexChanged="gridParts_SelectedIndexChanged" AllowMultiRowSelection="False">
<ClientSettings>
<Selecting AllowRowSelect="True" />
</ClientSettings>
<MasterTableView AutoGenerateColumns="true" TableLayout="Fixed" DataKeyNames="PartNumber" AllowCustomSorting="false" AllowMultiColumnSorting="false" AllowNaturalSort="false" Alloo>
</MasterTableView>
<ClientSettings Selecting-AllowRowSelect="true" EnablePostBackOnRowClick="true">
<Resizing AllowColumnResize="true" ResizeGridOnColumnResize="false" AllowResizeToFit="true" ClipCellContentOnResize="true" EnableRealTimeResize="true" />
<Scrolling AllowScroll="True" UseStaticHeaders="True" SaveScrollPosition="True" />
</ClientSettings>
</telerik:RadGrid>
From the documentation this should allow simple sorting to work. I only have 2 columns in the grid which are auto-generated. My problem is that nothing appears to happen when I click the column header to sort the items. To I need to add anything else just to implement simple ascending/descending sorting?

Chris:
I created a basic project using your client side markup for the RadGrid and simply modified the datasource to use the SQL Northwind database. On load, there is no column selected and no sort arrows visible. But, when I click directly on the column's name the sort asc/desc arrow appears and I am able to sort as expected.
If I click anywhere outside of the name, nothing happens, no sort arrows.
See the attached screenshot ("radgrid_with_sorting.png") for my application.
Also, try running the Grid/Basic Sorting demo at http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/grid/examples/generalfeatures/sorting/defaultcs.aspx to be sure that the sorting works as expected in your browser. Compare your code against this sample.
Hope this helps.

Hello Chris,
In order to implement advanced features in RadGrid like paging, sorting etc, make sure that you are using Advanced data binding using NeedDataSource event. Check the following help documentation which explains more about this.
Advanced Data-binding (using NeedDataSource event).
