Sorting Visualforce DataTable

Is it possible to sort the following with just a standard controller? I'd really like to sort by Product__r.Name, but would really like to keep it within Visualforce.  
<apex:dataTable value="{!Contact.Positions__r}" var="b" rules="all" columns="3" columnsWidth="250px,250px" align="left"
            columnClasses="columnBorders" cellpadding="5px" cellspacing="0">
             <apex:facet name="header">ACTIVE POSITIONS</apex:facet> 
                     <apex:column value="{!b.Product__r.Name}" headerValue="Product" rendered="{!b.isactive__c}"/>
                     <apex:column value="{!b.Name}" headerValue="Account Name" rendered="{!b.isactive__c}"/>
                     <apex:column value="{!b.Balance__c}" headerValue="Balance" rendered="{!b.isactive__c}"/>
             </apex:dataTable>
Thanks!!!
