<table>

EDIT:

I tried the below code on server side sorting function - but not working

ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(this.Page, this.GetType(), "",
                        "<script>document.getElementById('" + ((Button)DualGridTableRow.FindControl(string.Concat(WebConstants.PriorityText, WebConstants.UpText))).ClientID + "').style.enabled ='False';</script>"
                        , true);

You can add disable functionality in the onclick event of your sort buttons(links). Don't know if it is elegant, however it will work. Just one point, if you need it just for disabling button while async sort I think it is unnecessary.
