Persist sort order

Hi. Can user selected sort be persisted on an relationshipManager table? Thanks

Solution:

Maybe this functionality was added later? But this is plain Filament: ```php // Resource class public static function table(Table $table): Table {...

Relation managers are just tables.

PabloZagni•3mo ago

Yes! Filters can be persisted... but can Orders be persisted?

awcodes•3mo ago

Maybe I’m just not understanding the difference. A table represents the records of a model.

PabloZagni•3mo ago

In my table, ther are many sortable columns. Created_at, name User would like to see records by some sort column...

awcodes•3mo ago

And those model can be filtered and or persisted with a url query.

PabloZagni•3mo ago

for example, user A like the table sorted by name, and user B like like to see the table sorted by created_at by default

awcodes•3mo ago

Then you need a way to track the user preferences.

PabloZagni•3mo ago

filters are persisted. it would be nice to have the sort persisted to... I'm I telling it right? some users would like to see created_at DESC, and some ASC... to see the last change first...

awcodes•3mo ago

It sounds sounds like you want that at a user level though. So you need some kind of persistence at the user level to to set that via a middleware. But that becomes an app level specification and not a filament one. Filament is still just laravel. So however you would handle it without filament still applies.

I'm developing a process control system Users creates "issues" Then, an ISSUE has same Progress User can add a comment, then attach a file, change ISSUE priority, etc. Each actions generates a log in a table So, the ISSUE viewPage has a relationshipManager with that log. Here's the case... some users would like to see the log ASC, and others DESC. So.. they select the order like this

Filter are persisted with persistFiltersInSession Is there a persistSortsInSession ?

awcodes•3mo ago

Not to my knowledge

PabloZagni•3mo ago

so the user sees the data in the table sorted as he left it Great! Thank you SO MUCH for your time... really Filament is great, takes us time to adapt, but I see it very powerfull

awcodes•3mo ago

I meant. Filament can handle this, but you need a way to persist the user preferences which falls outside the scope of what filament does. Filament can certainly handle it. But you have to define that distinction. Just sounds like an app specific use case to me. But filament will let your define the query in in way you sit fit.

when I grow up, and my mind understand the core, I'll try to collaborate to add the feature

awcodes•3mo ago

That’s kind of the beauty of it. It’s a sane default but sometimes your app needs more. And it allows you to do it. My advice is to remember that it’s still just laravel. And don’t get caught up in trying to do things in a filament way. You still have all the control for your apps needs.

PabloZagni•3mo ago

Yes... but I need to understand the core... how to interact in Filament..

awcodes•3mo ago

There’s nothing magical about filament. It’s just a normal laravel lifecycle. Or livewire lifecycle I hear you though. “Interact” can be objective, but it still just laravel and livewire.

PabloZagni•3mo ago

I have projects in Laravel 5, MVC, bootstrap Then, laravel 11 with tailwind and jetstream then Laravel 11 with filament somewhere was VUE and Livewire... So many technologies...

awcodes•3mo ago

Understandable, but that’s outside the scope of filament.

PabloZagni•3mo ago

Yes! but I spent 30 minutes googling on how to access the current record to build a custom action... I'm learning... 😄

awcodes•3mo ago

I get it. Definitely not saying you’re doing anything wrong. But using filament has an implied understanding of the tall stack.

PabloZagni•3mo ago

I'm happy I could build the action...

awcodes•3mo ago

And this looks good.

PabloZagni•3mo ago

I'm up to it!

awcodes•3mo ago

Don’t doubt it. V4 will clean some of this up.

PabloZagni•3mo ago

Yeah! it works! I'm very happy... but It take time to switch my mind... and understand everything... I'm gettin progress!

awcodes•3mo ago

I do feel there’s an educational disconnect with actions currently but v4 will be better. You’ll. Get there. But I understand the disconnect.

PabloZagni•3mo ago

again.. thanks to you and all the team... now that I can tell you directly... thanks

awcodes•3mo ago

And it’s not always easy to describe in docs. We’re doing the best we can right now.

PabloZagni•3mo ago

Docs are great! clear! but we are so lazzy to read!! jajajaj I'm visual learner... I like videos

awcodes•3mo ago

💯 I’m the same way.

PabloZagni•3mo ago

but they are all basic... I didn't find intermediate or advanced

awcodes•3mo ago

Yea. And that’s tough.

PabloZagni•3mo ago

Thanks again! I'll continue coding and let you do your stuff.. so many thanks for your time and patience! Greatings from Argentina.
