Had the same issue - SelectedIndexChanged doesn't fire when selecting the first option, My not clean solution was (not sure that was so smart but it work for me),

At the Page_Load I added the follow script:

if (!IsPostBack)
        {

            //bind data first time
        }
        else
        {
            int ddlSortByValue = int.Parse(ddlSortBy.SelectedValue);
            if (ddlSortByValue == 0)
            {
                ddlSortBy_SelectedIndexChanged(this, EventArgs.Empty);
            }

        }

That way I force the SelectedIndexChanged event to fire up
