[Solved] templatecolumn filter works but sorting doesn't

[sf]

I have a gridtemplatecolumn (see code below) the filter works fine but the sorting doesn't, the header is not clickable for sorting. Once I take out the binding in HeaderTemplate the sorting worked. I need to have this binding for runtime defined currency symbol, is there a way that i can make the sorting work on this column with this type of binding on headertemplate?

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn ItemStyle-HorizontalAlign="Right" HeaderStyle-Width="60px" FilterControlWidth="60px" UniqueName="theAmount" DataField="theAmount" SortExpression="theAmount">
                                    <HeaderTemplate>
                                        <%# "theAmount (" + MY_BLL.Settings.Default.CurrencySymbol + ")"%>
                                    </HeaderTemplate>
                                    <ItemTemplate>
                                        <%# Eval("theAmount", "{0:N}")%>
                                    </ItemTemplate>
</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

Hello,

Try adding LinkButton in HeaderTemplate as shown below and see whether it helps.

ASPX:

    <HeaderTemplate>
        <asp:LinkButton ID="SortMe" CommandName="Sort" CommandArgument="theAmount" runat="server" Text='<%# "theAmount (" + MY_BLL.Settings.Default.CurrencySymbol + ")"%>'></asp:LinkButton>
    </HeaderTemplate>

thanks shinu, I added in this linkbutton. At runtime when mouse-over the heading the cursor changes to hand-shape, but after click on the heading nothing happens....
