initial sort on load to be different for each. I this i should be using a

be appreciated.

Not sure whether you could do it declaratively - but can be easily achieved
programmatically, for example:
Dim table As DataTable = MyDataTableRetrievalMethod
MyGrid1.DataSource = New DataView(table, "", "Field1",
DataViewRowState.CurrentRows)
MyGrid1.DataBind()
....
MyGridN.DataSource = New DataView(table, "", "FieldN Desc",
DataViewRowState.CurrentRows)
MyGridN.DataBind()
