Page Extension - Field not Searchable/Sortable/Filterable

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 215
I wrote a Page Extension using Visual Studio Code, but when I click on the header of the field I added with the Extension, there's no option to sort or filter.  The values in this field also can't be searched using the search box at the top of the Page. 
 
 
I'd like to see these options when clicking on the header:
 
 
Is there any way to add this functionality to my Page Extension?  I've written other Page Extensions that don't have this issue - what's different about this one is the field that I am pulling in is coming from a different table (Warehouse Activity Line 5767) than the other data on the Page (Warehouse Activity Header 5766).
I have the same question (0)

    Hi @Agazziz,
     
    If you're using Flow field or varaible you can't search/sort/Filter.

    It must a variable on the page and not a field.
    Create a field on table level and use the field on pageexpression.

    Most likely it's variable. A variable can be shown on field, but unable to be searched or filtered.

    Agree with TeddyH and Mohana, this should be a variable. If you want to filter or sort, you need to add a real field to the table.
     
     
    Hope this helps as well.
    Thanks.
