hi, pawan

we sort the column in gridview\
set the **allowsorting** property of gridview is true\
and we use the **sortexpression properties** in boundfield tag\
**for example\**

```
<asp:gridview runat="server" AllowSorting="true"><columns><asp:BoundField datafield="username" HeaderText="User Name" SortExpression="username"/>
```

and so on..\
and bind the data in gridview in sort order by using the query in asc or desc or set the **Allowsorting property** of grid view is true and use many other way.\
