First you have to store your data into the session object/ viewstate /cache

Then generate table/ div according to your requirement and use loop for no. of records you want to display on screen * current page no +1.(current page no you have to store in viewsate or in hidden field)

For sorting use link on header (use table header with link) then for sorting use Linq. (after sorting data you have to replace your session object/ viewstate /cache object ) You can generate header using column’s name
