Datagrid column sorting

With a datagrid, there is a property - the dgProp["sort by column"] of
group "Data Grid" - which returns (or can be set to) the column name
that is the current sort column
This corresponds to a property in the Property Inspector, columns tab,
for the datagrid - a checkbox - labeled "Sort by Column" (or the
property above "sort by column"). Checking the check box presumably sets
the datagrid property to the column name
My question for the hivemind is: Is there a way in a Datagrid to may a
specific column NOT sortable?
It appears when I initially populate the datagrid, I can 'set the
dgProp["sort by column"] of group "Datagrid" to empty' to ensure NO
default sorting of the data takes place initially. However, then the
user can click on the column header and a sort on the column clicked in
performed whether I want or not.
How can I make, via properties or code, a specific column be
non-sortable and yet still allow other columns to be sorted on?
