Hello Mahesh,

You can find a code-snippet with a possible approach below:

protected void RadGrid1_SortCommand(object source, GridSortCommandEventArgs e)
{
    foreach(GridColumn col in RadGrid1.MasterTableView.RenderColumns)
        if (col is GridBoundColumn && (col as GridBoundColumn).DataField == e.SortExpression)
            RadAjaxManager1.Alert(col.UniqueName);
}

Protected Sub RadGrid1_SortCommand(ByVal source As Object, ByVal e As GridSortCommandEventArgs)
    For Each col As GridColumn In RadGrid1.MasterTableView.RenderColumns
        If TypeOf col Is GridBoundColumn AndAlso (TryCast(col, GridBoundColumn)).DataField = e.SortExpression Then
            RadAjaxManager1.Alert(col.UniqueName)
        End If
    Next
End Sub
