Sorting in Gridview using tablesorter.js in ASP.NET

Step by step

1. Open visual studio.
   
   
2. Create a web application
   
    
   
   
3. Add new page.
   
   
4. Drag a gridview on the page.
   
    
   
   
5. On the head section of page call below script and link:
   

   <script src="JS/jquery-1.11.1.js" type="text/javascript">
   </script>
   
   <link href="dist/css/theme.default.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
   
   <script src="dist/js/jquery.tablesorter.min.js"></script>
   
   <script>
       $(document).ready(function()
       {
           $("table").tablesorter();
       });
   </script>

   
   
6. Grid page source like:\
   

   <asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" CssClass="tablesorter" CellPadding="4" ForeColor="#333333" GridLines="None" OnRowDataBound="GridView1_RowDataBound">
   
   </asp:GridView>

7. In .cs (code behind) I have create a datatable with some static record and bind to gridview on page load.
   

   protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
   {
       BindGrid();
   }
   private void BindGrid()
   {
       DataTable table = new DataTable();
       table.Columns.Add("Dosage", typeof(int));
       table.Columns.Add("Drug", typeof(string));
       table.Columns.Add("Patient", typeof(string));
       table.Columns.Add("Date", typeof(DateTime));
       // Here we add five DataRows.
       table.Rows.Add(10, "Hydralazine", "Christoff", DateTime.Now);
       table.Rows.Add(21, "Combivent", "Janet", DateTime.Now);
       table.Rows.Add(100, "Dilantin", "Melanie", DateTime.Now);
       GridView1.DataSource = table;
       GridView1.DataBind();
   }

8. On gridview rowdatabound event.
   

   protected void GridView1_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
   {
       if (this.GridView1.Rows.Count > 0)
       {
           GridView1.UseAccessibleHeader = true;
           GridView1.HeaderRow.TableSection = TableRowSection.TableHeader;
           // GridView1.FooterRow.TableSection = TableRowSection.TableFooter;
       }
   }

9. Final result.
