+#### Intelligent Relationship Sorting
+
+The DataGrid component includes intelligent sorting capabilities that automatically detect and enable sorting for relationship and JSON fields. This feature works seamlessly with the backend `HasRelationshipSorting` trait.
+
+**Automatic Sortable Detection:**
+
+```jsx
+// The DataGrid automatically detects sortable fields based on naming patterns
+<DataGrid
+    columns={[
+        {
+            name: 'user.profile.name',     // Relationship field - automatically sortable
+            headerName: 'User Name',
+            nameFrom: ['user', 'profile', 'name']
+        },
+        {
+            name: 'settings.theme',        // JSON field - automatically sortable  
+            headerName: 'Theme Preference',
+            nameFrom: ['settings', 'theme']
+        },
+        {
+            name: 'client.company',        // BelongsTo relationship - automatically sortable
+            headerName: 'Company',
+            nameFrom: ['client', 'company']
+        }
+    ]}
+    settings={{
+        intelligentSorting: true  // Enable intelligent sorting (default: true)
+    }}
+/>
+```
+
+**Manual Sortable Control:**
+
+```jsx
+// Override automatic detection with explicit sortable configuration
+<DataGrid
+    columns={[
+        {
+            name: 'user.profile.name',
+            headerName: 'User Name',
+            sortable: true,  // Explicitly enable sorting
+            nameFrom: ['user', 'profile', 'name']
+        },
+        {
+            name: 'complex.calculation',
+            headerName: 'Complex Field',
+            sortable: false, // Explicitly disable sorting
+            nameFrom: ['complex', 'calculation']
+        }
+    ]}
+/>
+```
+
+**Supported Sorting Patterns:**
+
+The intelligent sorting system recognizes these field patterns as sortable:
+
+- **Relationship Fields**: `user.profile.name`, `order.customer.company`
+- **JSON Fields**: `settings.theme`, `metadata.tags`, `data.preferences.language`
+- **Standard Fields**: Any direct model attribute
+- **Nested Relationships**: `post.author.profile.display_name`
+
+**Field Name Detection:**
+
+The sorting system intelligently determines sortable fields using:
+
+1. **nameFrom Array**: Primary method for complex field paths
+   ```jsx
+   nameFrom: ['user', 'profile', 'full_name']  // → user.profile.full_name
+   ```
+
+2. **Dot Notation**: Direct string paths
+   ```jsx
+   name: 'client.address.city'  // → client.address.city
+   ```
+
+3. **Pattern Recognition**: Automatic detection of common relationship patterns
+   - Fields ending with `_id` that have corresponding relationships
+   - JSON field patterns like `data.*`, `settings.*`, `metadata.*`
+   - Nested object notation
+
+**Configuration Options:**
+
+```jsx
+<DataGrid
+    settings={{
+        // Global intelligent sorting toggle
+        intelligentSorting: true,  // default: true
+        
+        // Additional sorting configuration
+        sortingConfig: {
+            // Custom sortable field patterns
+            additionalPatterns: [
+                /^custom_data\./,   // Match custom_data.* fields
+                /^config\./         // Match config.* fields
+            ],
+            
+            // Fields to exclude from automatic sorting
+            excludePatterns: [
+                /^temp\./,          // Exclude temp.* fields
+                /^cache\./          // Exclude cache.* fields
+            ]
+        }
+    }}
+/>
+```
+
+**Backend Integration:**
+
+The frontend intelligent sorting works seamlessly with the backend `HasRelationshipSorting` trait:
+
+```jsx
+// Frontend automatically generates these API calls:
+// GET /ajax/users/table?orderBy=profile.name&order=asc
+// GET /ajax/orders/table?orderBy=customer.company&order=desc
+// GET /ajax/products/table?orderBy=metadata.category&order=asc
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+
+- **Zero Configuration**: Most relationship and JSON fields work automatically
+- **Performance Optimized**: Uses backend subqueries instead of joins
+- **Type Safety**: Automatic validation of sortable field patterns
+- **Fallback Support**: Graceful handling of unsupported sort fields
+- **Developer Friendly**: Clear visual indicators for sortable columns
