Updating headers in ItemDataBound breaks sorting

[bdrennen]

I have a RadGrid that's losing the ability to sort columns by clicking the column header. I've narrowed it down to some code in my ItemDataBound method that updates the header text. If I remove this code, clicking the column headers works properly. But when I put it back, sorting is disabled. 

Here's my grid:

<telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" runat="server"
    AllowSorting = "true"

    OnNeedDataSource="RadGrid1_NeedDataSource"
    OnItemDataBound="RadGrid1_ItemDataBound"
    OnPreRender="RadGrid1_PreRender"

    RenderMode="Classic"
    Skin="Windows7">
</telerik:RadGrid>

 

Here's my ItemDataBound method:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e) {
    if (e.Item is GridHeaderItem) {
        GridHeaderItem header = (GridHeaderItem)e.Item;
        header["MONTH_NAME_LONG"].Text = "Month";
    }
}

 

Any idea why this is happening?
