How to let grid control can be sort by click column header like grid data control?

[Clay Burch]

There is no built-in support for sorting a GridControl. Here is a minimal sample that handles the sort by using the virtual QueryCellInfo event to redirect the values so that are in sort order.

I try the example, when some cells are empty cause exception,I changed GridControlSortHelper.cs's line 100 from
Value = (o == null) ? null : o.GetValue(GridStyleInfoStore.CellValueProperty) as IComparable
to
Value = (o == null) ? string.Empty : o.GetValue(GridStyleInfoStore.CellValueProperty) as IComparable
no longer occur exception,
but the results are not sorted correctly, even after clicking on the column header, the value of the cell is not properly be changed.

Here is the sample back tweaked to handle null entries. The tweaks were in the Compare method to handle empty Value values, and another change in the QueryCellInfo method to make sure empty cells displayed as empty (instead of showing previously cached styles).
