How can I accomplish gridview sorting in client browser using javascript ? without using inbuilt gridview sorting method. I really dont want the gridview to go to the DB each time while sorting.

Try the jQuery plugin tablesorter

<script type="text/javascript" src="/path/to/jquery-latest.js"></script> 
<script type="text/javascript" src="/path/to/jquery.tablesorter.js"></script>

....

<script type="text/javascript">
    var aspxElements = {
        theGrid: '<%= myGrid.ClientID %>' //I'm not entierly sure this is the id of the table or some container element
    };

    $(document).ready(function() { 
        $('#' + aspxElements.theGrid).tablesorter(); 
    });
</script>

(modified from the demo on this page)

Note that this will get weird if you're using pagination.
