Displaying sort order

[Guest]

Is there a way to indicate on a datagrid which column the datagrid has been
sorted by?

By default, my customer list is sorted in customer name order, but if they
sort by state, I'd like to indicate it on that column.

There is no built-in way. I would consider looking at Esposito's work on
MSDN, as he has an example where he has extended a DataGrid control to do
some extra "stuff". You can extend to set the header differently on a column
that is being sorted on. I am sure you can kludge this functionality in, but
I would not advise that direction.

CSS may be another option for this functionality, but I still see extending
the DataGrid control is the best option for reuse.

You have to modify the header text of the column in the datagrid at runtime. You can either append a arrow image to it or number 5 and 6 in webdings font

The following link has examples and information about sorting in the datagrid
