Here's the question you want to ask yourself: "Why am I using an AsyncDataProvider and data paging?"
Because I use one in my app with sortable columns. And I'm using one because I've got thousands to tens of thousands of rows of data to display. And since I don't want to try to download all that data in one go, I sort things on the server (actually, I sort the data within the database, and get a scrollable results set with everything in the right order). If you really have a little enough data that you want to sort it on the client, do yourself a favor, and just download all the data and don't use the AsyncDataProvider at all.
