  Check Data Types: Ensure that the data types of the fields being sorted are consistent and compatible. For example, if sorting a numeric field, ensure all entries are numeric.
  Handle Null Values: Implement checks to handle null or empty values in the data. You may want to replace nulls with a default value or exclude them from the sorting operation.
  Review Field Configuration: Verify the configuration of the ALV grid. Ensure that the fields are correctly defined and that sorting is enabled for the relevant columns.
  Debug Custom Code: If there is custom logic involved, debug the code to identify any issues that may be affecting the sorting functionality.
