Craig's class does all this and more. You basically put an instance on the form, assign a property to associate the form grid with the class, and call the init. Sorts, filters and searches all built-in and Excel export thrown in for good measure.

I create a cursor in the init or load and set that as the recordsource etc. then fill it with data and index on the columns you want to be able to set order to. To change the order just click on the column header and some code behind that changes the index order. Grids are definitely more work than a browse but you can do a lot more with them, like the column header click.
