If JavaScript is disabled, you have a problem.

I'd go for a noscript solution.

I'd have two radio button groups:

direction:  ( ) ascending    (.) descending

orderBy:  (.) Id   ( ) Name   ( ) Status

I'd treat the View as a form with multiple submit buttons:

(without JavaScript) ~~ same name for both buttons.

on your .aspx page, add three buttons:

in your Controller:

[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]
public ActionResult Sort(string direction, string orderBy, string submitButton)
{
    if (submitButton == "Requery")       //et cetera
