You could try something like below (this is a sample code):

Changed this :

XML

<asp:TemplateField SortExpression="Category">
   <HeaderTemplate>Category</HeaderTemplate>
   <ItemTemplate>A value</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>

To This :

XML

<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Category" SortExpression="Category">
   <ItemTemplate>A value</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>

Removed the HeaderTemplate and added the HeaderText in the TemplateField.
