At first sight it seems to be a good idea however by doing this, we couldn't 
say the grid support "custom" sorting but "limited custom" sorting 
capabilities, because it's based on the interpretation of the SortOrder 
property. 

Because how would one sort multiple columns with different Sorting orders, for 
example one column sorting alphabetically in ascending order while at the same 
time another column, say a rate column, in descending order, the same for 
dates, numbers, etc.
