Can't sort DataGrid

J

Joe

ello,

I have a datagrid in an nested html table (one table inside of another
table) and have set the allowsSorting property to true. I've created in the
code-behind a method (Sub - I'm using VB.NET) that handles the SortCommand
event of the data grid. I've included the declaration of the Sub below.
EnableViewState is set to false; we reload the DataSource each time the page
posts.

Would anyone know why this DataGrid doesn't sort? The web server isn't
executing the SortCommand event handler.

If tehre is any other information that I can offer, please elt me know.
This really has me stumped.

Sub Declaration:*********************************
Private Sub SortDataGridColumns(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridSortCommandEventArgs) Handles
dgForms.SortCommand

PopulateClaimFormsDataGrid(e.SortExpression,
SwapSortDirection(e.SortExpression))
End Sub
*********************************************

Data Grid HTML**********************************
