Sharepoint 2010: List with External Content Types (ECT) cannot be sort

Question

In SharePoint 2010, I create a list with External Content Types (ECT).

When I click the title of the column on the list, the column supposes to be sorted descendent or ascendent. It's only sorted by ascendent but not descendent.

I appreciate any help.

Hi Dmitry,

I want to remove the sorting functions from the External List since I do not want to mislead the other users and also how can I remove the "View Item" function from the External List?

I appreciate your help.
