The grid below orders the rows by part_description column only the first 
time the action is called. After that if you click on the header link it 
orders by pp_part_id foreign 
key which is not as useful as it could be by part_description.
Why the link in the header for that column does not receive the orderby 
argument passed to the grid?
Any help or explanation will be appreciated, thanks.
