It's in the run-time depending on the order. I don't think, it's a really good design idea. The usual practice here either show some sort indicator in the header (see Vlad's class in Download section here), or use color in the Header (this is that I'm using in my applications). Though, if you like, you can change color of the whole column.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
