The AllowNaturalSort property should indicate whether the no-sort state when changing sort order will be allowed.
Workaround:
Private Sub SortChanging(sender As Object, e As Telerik.WinControls.UI.GridViewCollectionChangingEventArgs)
If e.Action = NotifyCollectionChangedAction.Remove AndAlso e.OldValue = ListSortDirection.Descending Then
e.Cancel = True
For Each sd As SortDescriptor In Me.RadGridView1.SortDescriptors
If sd.PropertyName = e.PropertyName Then
sd.Direction = ListSortDirection.Ascending
End If
Next
End If
End Sub
