I have a DataGrid with an ItemSource set to an array of objects. The template column is set to a checkbox which is bound to the boolean IsChecked, and the rest of the columns are text columns set to strings. Despite setting SortMemberPaths and CanUserSort on the text columns, I'm still unable to sort any columns in the header. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

ItemSource Object

public class MyAllergy
    public string Allergen { get; set; }
    public string AllergenType { get; set; }
    public string AllergyType { get; set; }
    public string Reactions { get; set; }
    public string TouchedWhen { get; set; }
    public Boolean IsChecked { get; set; }
    public Boolean IsEnabled { get; set; }
    public string ApplicationSourceName { get; set; }
    public string AllergyCategory { get; set; }
    public string ConfidenceLevel { get; set; }
    public PartialDate OnsetDate { get; set; }
    public string Status { get; set; }
    public string CreatedWhen { get; set; }
    public string InformationSource { get; set; }
    public string Text { get; set; }
    public string ConfirmedBy { get; set; }
    public long AllergyGUID { get; set; }

            </DataGrid.Columns>
        </DataGrid>
                try to delete SortMemberPath="AllergyCategory and etc. as DataGrid has such a feature by default

                @thunderchunky Your code works for me, with sorting, if I bind ItemsSource. Try making the Allergies collection a property on your viewmodel and binding it to DataGrid.ItemsSource in the XAML. If you implement INotifyPropertyChanged on your viewmodel and fire a notification correctly when Allergies changes, you can swap allergies collections by assigning different collections to Allergies. Excuse me, I'm starting to feel itchy...
