<asp:DataGrid id='DataGrid1' OnSortCommand ='SortDataGrid' runat='server' AllowSorting='True' EnableViewState='False'></asp:DataGrid>

VB.NET


Protected SQLStmt As String = 'Select * from Products  '
Dim myconnection As SqlConnection
Dim myda As SqlDataAdapter
Dim ds As DataSet
Dim strConn As String
Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load 
	’Put user code to initialize the page here
	binddata()
End Sub

Sub binddata()
	strConn = 'Server=localhost;uid=sa;password=;database=northwind;'
        	myconnection = New SqlConnection(strConn)
        	myda = New SqlDataAdapter(SQLStmt, myconnection)
        	ds = New DataSet
        	myda.Fill(ds, 'AllTables')
        	DataGrid1.DataSource = ds
        	DataGrid1.DataBind()
End Sub

Protected Sub SortDataGrid(ByVal source As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridSortCommandEventArgs)
        	If ViewState('SortOrder') Is Nothing Then
            		ViewState('SortOrder') = ' ASC'
        	ElseIf ViewState('SortOrder') = ' ASC' Then
            		ViewState('SortOrder') = ' DESC'
        	Else
            		ViewState('SortOrder') = ' ASC'
        	End If
        	SQLStmt = SQLStmt & ' ORDER BY ' & e.SortExpression & ' ' & ViewState('SortOrder')
	binddata()
End Sub
