Sorting removes applied filters [message #1798835]

I use the 1.5 Version to display a excel like sheet, with about 1500 lines and 20 rows.
When I apply at least two filters on the sheet and apply a sorting on top of it, I observe a not 100% reproducible behavior.
With the sorting applied, the previously applied filters are removed.

Is this behavior known by others?

Are the filters the same? Because that is a known bug that is solved in the 1.6 SNAPSHOT versions for a while.

Hello Dirk,
Thank you for the quick response. I know about the resolution, regarding the filtering with same values.

This behavior is different
Scenario, would be:
1. Load list
2. apply different filters on different columns
3. apply sorting on 3rd column
4. With the sorting applied, a single or both filters are removed. Regardless if the sorting is applied on string or integer value columns

Additional observation is, that the behavior is not 100% consistent. When the scenario is repeated, in some cases the first sorting removes the filters in some cases, the change of the sorting direction or sorting on a different column removes the sorting.

Never seen that. Is it reproducible in our examples?

It is only reproducible with tables having more than 100 lines (rows). With tables containing of less lines (rows), like 20, the behavior is not occuring.

That doesn't answer my question. We also have integration examples with more than 20 rows

I have tested with the _808_SortableGroupByWithFilterExample, added a filter for the first two columns so that there are more than 100 rows and then sorted for the third column. And I do not observe the behavior you describe.
Maybe an issue with your list or layer composition.

Hi Dirk, I am getting back to you for my request. Are you able to give me a link on a whole installable package, where the _808_SortableGroupByWithFilterExample is used.
I would set up a pure setup, to compare my with the default setup.

I assume it might be related to the my list or layer composition. I am experienceing some similiar behavior for my table save and also, when I remove lines, with filters active.
All are resulting in a removal of the applied filters. Interestingly, it does not happen everytime.

To provoke it, it set 2 filters and change the sorting on various columns, quite fast, until after 10-15 changed sortings the filter is removed.

While I am writing the situation, it sounds like it could be related to some caching issue?

The example is part of our examples application located here: https://www.eclipse.org/nattable/documentation.php?page=examples_application

The most current SNAPSHOT version can be downloaded from the SNAPSHOT builds page: https://download.eclipse.org/nattable/snapshots/

Or you check out the sources. The class itself is located here for example: https://github.com/eclipse/nebula.widgets.nattable/blob/master/org.eclipse.nebula.widgets.nattable.examples/src/org/eclipse/nebula/widgets/nattable/examples/_800_Integration/_808_SortableGroupByWithFilterExample.java

It is hard to tell what kind of issue you see if I am not able to reproduce it.

I tried to reproduce both my issues in the example given:

1. We implemented a filter list, not a text filter. I just found a single filter in the example.
2. We implemented a delete line function in a context menu:

public void removeRow(TableRow remove) {
workingList.remove(remove);
if (addedList.contains(remove)) {
addedList.remove(remove);
} else if (newList.contains(remove)) {
newList.remove(remove);
} else{
removedList.add(remove);
}
}
Both functions, mulitiple sorting and delete, with 2 filters applied cause a loss of the set filters.

Also our list has normally 88 columns instead of 40 and around 1700 and more.

In general, as noted before, we can only reproduce the issue with many lines. When we tried with 30 lines, the function works properly.

Might it be related to the different filter function regarding your example?

I don't understand what you mean with filter list

I attached a screenshot showing the mentioned filter.

ah okay, the combo box filter stuff ... yes I can reproduce that with the _813_SortableGroupByWithComboBoxFilterExample

looks like some synchronization issue that leads to clearing the filters in case the sorting happens while building updating the filter combo values. Could be located in FilterRowComboBoxDataProvider ... but that needs to be investigated in more depth then.

OK. Thank you for confirmation of the issue.
Any suggestion on a workaround, if I keep using the combobox filter? Could I save and set the table state before and after each user interaction?

Nope, I don't see a workaround for a concurrency issue. Because you don't know when a sorting operation is finished.

In the beginning, I mentioned, that for my delete action, as well as for my save action, when several filters are set, I experience the same behavior, that filters are partly or entirely removed from the tabel.

If it is a sync issue, would a timed / delayed reset table state work for this behavior? Ourselfs already try this approach, but had same issues with it. Even though the fitlers where set correctly, a reloaded tablestate scrolled the table always to the 1rst line, regardless its previous line.
