What event handler can I use to tell when a DataGrid control has finished sorting?

Question

I am simply wondering what event handler I can use to tell me when a DataGrid control has finished sorting. I know there is an event for Sorting, but I can't seem to find anything for when it has finished this operation. Any workarounds would be useful as well, as long as I can find an event that fires after the control is done sorting.

Here is the list of events on this control: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.controls.datagrid_events.aspx

By default, the sorting is done synchronously in the UI thread. You can do what you want if you derive a class from DataGrid and override the OnSorting method. If you call the base class OnSorting method, the sorting will be done when it returns.

public class MyDataGrid : DataGrid
{
...
  override OnSorting(DataGridSortingEventArgs eventArgs)
  {
    // sorting begins
    DataGrid::OnSorting(eventArgs);
    // sorting done
  }
}

This gives a more detailed answer: How can I be notified if a DataGrid column is sorted (and not sorting)
