The SortDescriptors collection exposes the Expression property which is used to create flexible sorting conditions. Expression is a string that contains the column name followed by "ASC" (ascending) or "DESC" (descending). The columns are sorted ascending by default. Multiple columns can be separated by commas.
Creating a simple expression:
this.radGridView1.SortDescriptors.Expression = "ShipName ASC";
Me.RadGridView1.SortDescriptors.Expression = "ShipName ASC"
Sorting by two columns using expressions:
this.radGridView1.SortDescriptors.Expression = "ShipName ASC, Freight DESC";
Me.RadGridView1.SortDescriptors.Expression = "ShipName ASC, Freight DESC"
