Sorting and filter - temporary lock (disabling "live" filtering/sorting)

Feature Ideas
1

Hi,
tried searching for this, but all similar topics seem abut slightly different ideas - Is there a way to disable the “live” filter and sort options?

Right now, upon editing a cell in a column which is filtered or sorted - the affected row gets immediately moved.
The yellow frame with the info that a row has moved is a nice touch.
However - is there a way to disable this behaviour?
So that the user would able to edit a bunch of cells, and only then “refresh” the filtered/sorted view?

I’d imagine a toggle for changing that in each view would be perfect - but maybe there is another way around it?

Thanks!

Hey @dev-rd, that’s not possible yet, so I’ll discuss it as a new feature request. :ok_hand:

Hey @dev-rd, I’ve checked and there are no options to disable ‘live’ filtering and sorting. It would be hard to implement this because of the way Baserow is built under the hood.

What we plan to do is add this feature: Adding on/off toggle for each filter (active/disabled) (#2673) · Issues · Baserow / baserow · GitLab. You could use it to deactivate filters while editing data and then activate them again. Will it work for you?

You can also consider working/editing data in the enlarged rows.

Hi, thanks for the reply!

the issue is that we often need to sort or filter data and then change the value for which we sort/filter.

These would usually need to be bulk operations, so working in the enlarged view is not a sensible option in this case.
