A little monster to close #5118

Forgot tooltip(s) and to focus the search box on any sort-expander open, not only when opening it using the enter key... Maybe later.

Oh my gosh
This is a hell of a thing to submit all in one sitting
The only "complaint" I have is that if you filter by text, and you close the filter, you can't see what you're filtering by.
Unlike the sorting, where you can always see the sort status.

Nah. The biggest improvement / most minutes spent on is actually that a resize or orientation switch does not forget the queried stuff, it just stops a running query. Makes you also hit the rate limit a bit less, rare anyway.

You can see the filter by simply re-opening the expander, I had hoped that might be enough, and our users should have a brain with short-term memory, too - hopefully. I'll mull it over for an hour or three.

Actually, I'd prefer to leave this as is for now. Too many ideas on how to clarify and - works better than nothing.

The ideas to clarify a filter is in effect I could currently list are:

• Block closing the expander while a filter applies (and offer a quicker clear filter)
• Mark within the expander header - classic office icon - what's "Entonnoir" in english? Funnel. Problem: Funnel icons are dégeulasse (ugly).
• Add the filter indicator to the column headers explicitly as (filtered)

I repeat: To see what you're filtering by with this version, just hit enter - it's a toggle for the expander.

Maybe await user feedback before deciding on a how-to-clarify-current-filter?
