request: search (& sort) in *all* submissions

    Hello Michael,

    Could you please make the “search” box of the submissions table filter from all entries and not just current page?

    To edit one particular entry I currently have to look in each of my 9 pages (and growing) and redo the search… which is a pain.

    Thanks!

    PS: Similarly, but less importantly, the sort from the table header only sort current page entries and not all. I understand this is useful in some cases (eg when only interested in recent entries). Could you add a “global” sort that does the opposite: sort amongst all entries and update pagination accordingly (to navigate amongst sorted entries). This is waaay less important than the search, so feel free to bench it if no one else asks/ed for it!

    I suggest this: create a private page that pulls from the server to search:

    <form action="" method="POST">
Search: <input type="text" name="search" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>

[cfdb-datatable form="YOUR FORM NAME" search="$_POST(search)" edit="true"]
