Sorting
The capability to sort data is one of the most basic tools users have to navigate through a significant amount of data.The DataGrid control made sorting columns in a grid a relatively easy task. you just set "AllowSorting" attribute to true as shown below. After enabling sorting, you see that all grid columns have now become hyperlinks. Clicking a column header sorts that specific cloumn please copy the code as shown below.
Paging
Another common grid navigation feature that the GridView greatly improves on is paging. Same as sorting technique first enable paging by setting "AllowPaging" to true as shown below.
