Can anyone explain what the Dynamic Data team was thinking when they designed grid sorting in Dynamic Data scaffolded tables? Sorting defaults to using all columns, in the order the appear in the model, often arbitrary very counter-productive.

We've just had a run in with the 'out-of-the-box' sorting, and solved it with a simple SortExpression attribute on MetaTables. Another, even simpler solution would have been for them to avoid any sorting, allowing the DB to provide a default order based on clustered index.

Is this another attack of the architecture astronaughts?
