That's not exactly true. Look into Download section here, sortable grid sample by Vlad G. He has exactly the functionality, you're looking for.

In my applications I use two colors (red and sort of magenta for asc/desc orders, I like my way of implementing it, so I didn't switch to Vlad's, though his way is more professional, but also more complicated). Anyway, he already coded this class and put it here for free in Downloads section.
