The Grid supports, out of the box, sorting of columns. It operates in a
slightly unusual way though, in that if I click on column 1, and then
click column 2, the sort on column 1 does not clear. Instead, I have to
click twice more on column 1 to clear it. I presume though that the
button click or other event can be used to do this reset - anyone know
the incantation I need to use to get "conventional" behaviour?

It's supposed to be an improvement over the "usual" way that allows for sorting on multiple columns.

"To clear an existing sort, simply assign a value of sdNone to the SortDirection property of all sorted columns."

A shift-click is usually used to add to the existing sorts (that is,
not clear the existing sort).

Yes, but which event to do this on?
