Have you looked at this sample: https://github.com/sonnemaf/ReflectionIT.Mvc.Paging/blob/master/src/SampleApp/Views/Products/Index.cshtml ?

I think you need to use the extra overload in which you specify the sort string.

@Html.SortableHeaderFor(model => model.MyList.NameColumn, "MyList.NameColumn")

Any further followups here? I am trying to do the exact same thing as the OP and can't get access to the SortableHeaderFor...everything else is looking fine.

What I ultimately ended up doing was creating a class called ExtendedPagingList...then building an additional Helper method to work with any models that derive from ExtendedPagingList.

It works the only thing is that it cannot infer the type of the elements in the PagingList....so you need to specify them in the function call to SortableHeaderFor, might be a way around this but after like 5 hours I don't care to dig.

Can you create a project for this problem and publish it in a public github repository? I will have a look at it. Don't have time to create one myself.
