The demo exhibits the ability to manage the enabled state for certain Range in the RadSpredsheet. descending or to clear the sort.

In the demo, we use the Disable 'Product' Column checkbox, in order to disable the cells in the Product column. Handling the OnClientClicked client-side event of a button and using the Client API of the RadSpreadsheet the demonstrated behavior is achieved. 

        var spreadsheet = $find("<%= RadSpreadsheet1.ClientID %>");
        var range = spreadsheet.get_activeSheet().get_range("B3:C11");
        var isEnabled = range.get_enabled();
        range.set_enabled(!isEnabled);
