    Since you’re using an SQLDataSource with the Gridview already, I would say using the AllowSorting property of the GridView (AllowSorting="True" in your markup) would be your easiest bet. This will auto-generate buttons that let you sort by any column you like.

    For example:

    <asp:GridView ID="GridView1" AllowSorting="True">

    A second option would be to do the sorting in your datasource. You could just change the SelectCommand in your SQLDataSource to end with “ORDER BY Added DESC.” This would be ideal if you do not want the sorting to be a dynamic, user-prompted event, but just a static, default sorting of the GridView that does not change.

    For example:

    <asp:SQLDataSource ID="SQLDataSource1"
    SelectCommand="SELECT ID, Name, Age, Column4, Column5, Added FROM yourTable ORDER BY Added DESC">
