Are there are objects/stuff already in CodeBook to select order and set filters? Just so I don't re-invent an already existing wheel. I've looked at the data/table/view behaviours and there doesn't seem to be anything there already.
I understand that filtering could be done with a parameterised view. However I'd suggest this can get to be a little problematic, consider the following.
I've got a front screen with client name and address. Because I want my user to be able to scroll through the list, the name section is straight out of the "people" table. The address section is a parameterised view keyed off the people table.
What if I want to let my users select "all clients in a particular county"? I'd really like to use the same form, just restrict it to the selected set.
