Hi winseealn@ho..., this is fixed byt using the DisplayAttribute on the table you would use
[Display("<ColumnNameTodisplay>","<ColumnNameToSortBy>")]
Note: you put the actual column names int he quotes :)

thanks for your response.
if i put just this single line [Display("<ColumnNameTodisplay>","<ColumnNameToSortBy>")] then will it work or have to adjust some more code?

That last false is optional you only set it to true if you want the sort order to be descending instead of ascending :)
