Off the top of my head... using the Sort class on your dataprovider will
do what you are looking for. Even sets the sort arrow for you.
Using placeSortArrow() gets a little hairy, I've been down that road
before.

done this?
As a total newbie, having just seen this in the docs, I may be
totally
wrong, but have you looked at the DataGrid's placeSortArrow()
method?
I'm not sure how you use it, but it looks promising.
