Making a Telerik RadGrid Button Column Sortable Using a Template Column
Sorting in Telerik’s ASP.NET AJAX RadGrid works smoothly—until you introduce a GridButtonColumn. Because button columns don’t bind directly to a data field, the grid has nothing concrete to sort on. The practical fix is to replace the button column with a GridTemplateColumn that looks and behaves like a button column, but sorts on a real field from your data source. It’s simple, predictable, and uses RadGrid’s built-in sorting pipeline.
