            dataGridView1.Columns(e.ColumnIndex)
        Dim oldColumn As DataGridViewColumn = dataGridView1.SortedColumn
        Dim direction As ListSortDirection

        ' If oldColumn is null, then the DataGridView is not currently sorted. 
        If oldColumn IsNot Nothing Then 

            ' Sort the same column again, reversing the SortOrder. 
            If oldColumn Is newColumn AndAlso dataGridView1.SortOrder = _
                SortOrder.Ascending Then
                direction = ListSortDirection.Descending
' Msgbox HERE
            Else 

                ' Sort a new column and remove the old SortGlyph.
                direction = ListSortDirection.Ascending
                oldColumn.HeaderCell.SortGlyphDirection = SortOrder.None

  If _Data_Table.Rows.Count > 0 Then
        datagridview.DataSource = _Data_Table


        datagridview.Sort(grd_Cadastro.Columns("Your column name"), System.ComponentModel.ListSortDirection.Descending)


        datagridview.AutoResizeColumns()
        datagridview.ClearSelection()



    Else
        datagridview.DataSource = Nothing
    End If
