Kendo Grid simple ajax binding and sorting - kendo-grid

Question

The error that i have received when tried to sort the Kendo grid by clicking on the Customer ID column is: {"Invalid property or field - 'CustomerID' for type: OMS_CUSTOMER"}. What else is needed to bind the columns of grid, model view and model. Thanks
controller _read function:
IQueryable<OMS_CUSTOMER> CustomerList = this.dbContext.OMS_CUSTOMERs;
DataSourceResult result = CustomerList.ToDataSourceResult(request
, ModelState
, c => new CustomerViewModel
{
CustomerID = c.OMS_CUSTOMER_ID,
CustomerName = c.CUSTOMERNAME
});
return Json(result);
View:
#model IEnumerable<NCBA.ViewModels.CustomerViewModel>
#(Html.Kendo().Grid<NCBA.ViewModels.CustomerViewModel>()
.Name("grid-CustomerViewModel")
.DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
.Ajax()
.Model(
model =>
{
model.Id(cust => cust.CustomerID);
}
)
.Create(create => create.Action("_Create", "Customer"))
.Read(read => read.Action("_Read", "Customer"))
.Update(update => update.Action("_Update", "Customer"))
.Destroy(destroy => destroy.Action("_Delete", "Customer"))
)
.Columns(columns =>
{
columns.Bound(c => c.CustomerID);
columns.Bound(c => c.CustomerName);
columns.Command(commands =>
{
commands.Edit();
commands.Destroy();
}).Title("Commands").Width(200);
})
.ToolBar(toolbar => toolbar.Create())
.Editable(editable => editable.Mode(GridEditMode.InLine))
.Pageable()
.Sortable()
)
