Sorting not working during the distrubuted parsing in Grid

When there are huge number of records in the Grid,during the distrubuted parsing, user is allowed to sort or access other utilities on the top of the grid, but it works after all the records are loaded in to the grid only, users should able to sort and allowed to use other utilities in the initial stage itself.. please let me know how to handle this scenario.

This is expected behaviour. In-grid sorting require all row to be loaded to sort it. There is no way to sort row if them were not loaded from the server side yet. 
If you have a lot of rows you can use dynamic loading and server side sorting. In such case you will be able sort rows if not of them are loaded. Please find more information here

To simplify server side operations related DHTMLX components you can use dhtmlxConnectors extension. http://dhtmlx.com/docs/products/dhtmlxConnector/index.shtml
