Re order options in filter dropdown

[faf3012]

I have a column with 'month YYYY' data. The filter displays the dropdown menu in alphabetical order but I want the options to display in month/year order. I've tried sorting the data in filter_selectSource but the order isn't maintained when the dropdown menu is displayed. I've also tried binding a function on filterInit and repopulating the select element but I can't make this work either. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @faf3012!

LOL wow, I was just working with @TheSin-, in the IRC channel, on fixing this. The update you need is available in the working branch and here is a demo of it working.

Basically, the filter widget has a new class "filter-select-nosort" to prevent sorting of the select options (not what you want), and it is now built-in to use the filter_selectSource and associated parser to sort the filter options.

Once I get rid of a few more bugs and some other tweaks done, I'll push out these changes in the next version.

That's incredible, just what I need. Many thanks.
