I understand your sample but the problem is not in getting it to initially sort.  Its to get it to sort when I select a column header and toggle between asc/desc as I select the different headings.  Your example describes a hard coded sort that I can set as the default value.

Perhaps, you can hook into the Sorting event of the GridView.
 
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.webcontrols.gridview.sorting.aspx - http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.webcontrols.gridview.sorting.aspx
 
GridView.Sorting Event 
 
Occurs when the hyperlink to sort a column is clicked, but before the http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.webcontrols.gridview.aspx - GridView control handles the sort operation.

Namespace: System.Web.UI.WebControls
Assembly: System.Web (in system.web.dll)

BTW, if you find that the DevForceDataSource can not implement some functionality that is possible in the ObjectDataSource, let me know, and I'll try to implement the missing functionality
