for our case, we did the sorting at the back end -
overriding the default behavior of the datagrid
headers when they are clicked and then returning the
pagenated data after sorting. It really is - in
essence - changing the dataprovider of the datagrid
during both page requests and sorting requests. This
however necessiated that we come up with a 'selection
manager' helper class to go with the component. What
this class does is just to remember which items had
been selected and reload/reselect those selections
when the user goes back to that page or in the case of
sorting, when an item in that selection manager is
encountered on a loaded page. But if you are not
dealing with multiple selections then you can do away
with that helper class.
