RadialMenu (SfRadialMenu) can be used as context menu of the WPF DataGrid (SfDataGrid)  by set the RadialMenu as ControlTemplate of ContextMenu. The same has been explained in the below “HeaderContext” style.

<Style x:Key="Headercontext" TargetType="ContextMenu">
    <Setter Property="Template">
        <Setter.Value>
            <ControlTemplate>
                <syncfusion:SfRadialMenu>
                    <syncfusion:SfRadialMenuItem Header="Ascending" 
                                                 Command="{Binding Source={x:StaticMember=local:ContextMenuCommands.SortAscending}}"
                                                 CommandParameter="{Binding}"/>
                    <syncfusion:SfRadialMenuItem Header="Descending" 
                                                 Command="{Binding Source={x:StaticMember=local:ContextMenuCommands.SortDescending}}"
                                                 CommandParameter="{Binding}"/>
                </syncfusion:SfRadialMenu>
            </ControlTemplate>
        </Setter.Value>
    </Setter>
</Style>
