Sorting grid with Multiple pages

[MK]

Hi
My grid is getting populated with data from stored procedure which is returning me data in descending order over date. The grid gives expected data if i donot use the <sort Expression> but gives me ascending order if i do give this expression.
Another issue is if i use Allowautosort="true" in grid control it just sorts on page level not on whole data. i have 5 records per page but more then 1 page. The sorting is behaving appropriately for whole data.

please help
Thanks
Mona

Hi Mona,

In case you add SortExpressions either declaratively or programmatically to your grid, you can control the sort direction applied by means of the SortOrder attribute of the respective sort expression.

Moreover, by default RadGrid will perform sorting operation over the entire set of data with paging enabled or not. You can verify that on the following online demos of the product:
