Problem Sorting With Multiple SPGridViews

Question

Hi,

I am using an SPGridView control with an ObjectDataSource control in a SharePoint 2010 solution. The SPGridview allows me to sort and page through a list items OK, but I have noticed a problem when two SPGridView controls are placed on the same page. When I sort the lower SPGridView control by clicking on a column's header link, the sort operation is successful. However when I click on the sort options available through the ECB menu on the lower SPGridView's column header, the sort is applied to the upper SPGridView control instead.

Can anyone offer a fix or guidance on how to resolve this?

Thanks, MagicAndi.
