There are always two or more columns of Data Grid

Each column's Header Name describes the Data contained in that column.

You may Re-Order the Data listed within the Data Grid.

To (re-)set the sorting Order of the data that's listed, Click on a Header Name.  

Each Click switches the listed data's Order (alphabetical or numerical, lowest to highest or highest to lowest).

The Header Name that is determining the Order of the list will have an Arrow Icon indicating the Order displayed next to that Header Name.
