I could not visualize your grid , but I assume from your post that from 3rd row your actual result set starts! One way you can approach sorting is even before populating the grid view.

You can select the rows in sorted order from your data source. If you are storing data in some collections you can implement comparison logic in your class and invoke sort method on the collection object.
