Table: option Tab -> Basic

It would be good to be able to sort the columns in this view, even if just the Name Column. I know that you use the drag drop for reordering, so this may not be possible. However if that is the case, could the filter not be made to work on this datagrid?

This is intentionally not possible, to avoid confusion about column ordering. Would be easy to allow header clicks but I could imagine most users will not be able to have the original column layout in mind.

So what about allowing the filter to work? I have some tables with a large number of fields, I will know what I'm looking for.. or what it starts with, but often scroll straight past it.

Enable filter input when table editor is active, for the column list. See http://www.heidisql.com/forum.php?t=6988

Filter box is enabled now for the table editor in r3612. For all other editors (view, trigger, ...) this does not make sense.

Where is the new filter box? I have downloaded r3612 and I can't find it. I'm looking at the column list of a table but I can't see any filter box apart from the database filter on the left. What am I missing?

Goto Edit -> Filter Panel

Great, thanks! I never knew this box existed...
