I have looked at the basic sorting example but I would prefer not to have the sort mechanism be triggered from controls outside of the listview. I have my listview set up to mimic the look and feel of a RadGrid using the predefined layout for grids. Is there any way to set up the sorting such that users can simply click on the headers in my listview (and also show the up/down arrow) to initiate the sorting process? I would like the sorting of my listview to be exactly like this. Is this possible?

Hello Dave,
You could try adding a link button inside the <th> elements of the LayoutTemplate and handle their server Click event. There, you could fire a sort command for the listview :
Firing command events from code

I followed your advice, but the sorting wasn't working. I was banging my head against a wall until I decided to check the latest internal build and I noticed that the internal build for 7/1 mentions a bug fix for the listview ("FIX RadListView sorting issue when paging is enabled and the
listview is bound to an EntityFramework context through NeedDataSource
event
"). Sure enough, I turned off paging and now the sorting is working. So, the question is: when is the next official release of the radcontrols for asp.net ajax going to be released? I'd rather not use an internal build in my production environment.

The sorting is working well now in my radlistview. Thank you. I am using the FireCommandEvent method.

Is there any way that I can add an up/down arrow and change the background color of the column currently being sorted on in my radlistview (just like the RadGrid does)?

Hi Dave,
Note that RadListView is build by templates and you could put whatever images you want in this templates. In order to show images in the current sorted column you could show this images conditionally based on the sort expression on the server for example. Please see the following demo which presents how you could add image in the RadListView templates:
