Create controls dynamically on button click

I am trying to create dynamic controls on button click.

HTML:

<asp:LinkButton ID="lnkSrt" runat="server" Text="Multi Sort" ForeColor="Black" Font-Names="Calibri" Font-Size="10pt" />
<ajax:ModalPopupExtender runat="server" ID="mpeSrt"
 TargetControlID="lnkSrt" PopupControlID="pnlSrt" CancelControlID="btnClose">
 </ajax:ModalPopupExtender>
     <asp:UpdatePanel ID="upPanel" runat="server">
         <ContentTemplate>
              <asp:Panel ID="pnlSort" runat="server" align="center" Style="display: none" BackColor="LightGray">
              <asp:Label runat="server" Text="Sort By Column" />
              <asp:DropDownList ID="ddlColumnSort" runat="server" AutoPostBack="true" />
              <asp:Label runat="server" Text="Order By" />
              <asp:DropDownList ID="ddlOrder" runat="server" AutoPostBack="true">
              <asp:ListItem Text="Ascending" Value="0"></asp:ListItem>
              <asp:ListItem Text="Descending" Value="1"></asp:ListItem>
              </asp:DropDownList>
              <asp:LinkButton ID="lnkAdd" runat="server" Text="Add Sorting" Font-Underline="true" OnClick="lnkAddOrder_Click" Font-Names="Calibri" Font-Size="10pt" ForeColor="Black" />
              <asp:Button ID="btnSorting" runat="server" Text="Sort" OnClick="btnSorting_Click" />
              <asp:Button ID="btnClose" runat="server" Text="Close" />
            </asp:Panel>
         </ContentTemplate>
      </asp:UpdatePanel>

CODE:

When clicked on AddSorting I am trying to create dropdown control using below code and the controls doesn't show.

protected void lnkAddSort_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    int index = pnlSort.Controls.OfType<DropDownList>().ToList().Count + 1;
    this.Createddl("ddldyn" + index);
}

public void Createddl(string id)
{
    DropDownList ddl = new DropDownList();
    ddl.ID = id;
    pnlSort.Controls.Add(ddl);
    Literal lt = new Literal();
    lt.Text = "<br />";
    pnlSort.Controls.Add(lt);
}

As per the @Yoshi answer. You could set visible true for the pnlSrt control by using pnlSort.Style["display"] = "block";// or pnlSort.Attributes.Add("style", "display:block");

Try this 

public void Createddl(string id)
{
    DropDownList ddl = new DropDownList();
    ddl.ID = id;

    pnlSort.Controls.Add(ddl);

    Literal lt = new Literal();
    lt.Text = "<br />";
    pnlSort.Controls.Add(lt);
    pnlSort.Attributes.Add("style", "display:block");
}

pnlSrt is set to display: none so the dynamically added child controls will not show either.
