Yes - set the ClearSelectionOnExit property to True - at least I think this
is the one you want. If you want it to clear instantly, set AllowTimeout
False as well.

If that doesn't do the trick, look at the dataset's ClearSearch and
ClearIncSearchString methods, which you could kick off in the same block
where you're adjusting to the OrderingLink change.
