Haha it seems that we are doing the same kind of grid. I had the same issues in my project.
To solve the default sorting style problem you have to set the sortExpertMode of the AdvancedDataGrid to true. Next step is to set the sortFunction to a custom function and the sortable of each one of the AdvancedDataGridColumns to true or false. Another thing that i had to fix was that when dragging a column you can not froze one column, because when you are working with hierarchy, you could want the first column to be only in that place, and the other draggable between each other. This was resolved extending the datagrid and overriding the isDraggableColumn method. If you have more problems with the AdvancedDataGrid let me know and I will try to help.
