Sorting on DataGrid

Am I reading this correctly that you need to have the professional version to sort columns on a datagrid? If so, then the free version is useless. If I have misread then please correct me. I like this product but jeez, what’s the point of having a free version if one basic functions is only in the pro version?

to have the professional version to sort columns on a datagrid
Normal client side sorting and server side sorting can be used with both standard and pro editions.
If you want to define custom rules for client side sorting - yes, you need a pro version.

>>the point of having a free version if one basic functions is only in the pro version
Except of custom sorting functions - all other sorting functionality, including related events and methods available in standard edition. ( default sorting types allow to sort data as strings, numbers or dates which covers 95% of sorting use-case )
