There is a bug in rendering html select in filter toolbar.

When the list of options passed as javascript object like this:

searchoptions: {value: {"":"All", 1: "One", 2: "Two"}}

plugin do not preserve order of elements, due to limitations of javascript itself. This was noticed after last Firefox update (to version 21.0). Before there was undocumented feature in Firefox of preserving keys insertion order while iterating over them.

Workaround for this bug is passing list of options as string value:

searchoptions: {value: ":Al-;1:One;2:Two"}

But this solution isn`t convinient since does not allow to use symbols : and ; in the name of element.

Regards, Ivan.

Hello,

Thank you for the information.

Sorry there are undocumented delimiter and separator options in serchoptions and editoption.

To avoid this you can by exmple

..., searchoptions: { delimiter:"|", separator"~"...}

Hi, Tony.

Yes, I`ve seen this two parameters in source code, but anyway, this wont cover all possible cases, since I cannot know in advance which characters will be used in name of items which present in filter.

So, our temporary solution is not to use ; and : in names =)

Thanks!

Hello,

I'm not sure I can fix this 🙂 and I think it is not a jqGrid bug, but rather a JavaScript behaviour.

Array of Objects can be used instead, actually:

searchoptions: [{id: "",  name: "All"}, {id: "1", "name": "One"}]

Or Array of Arrays like:

searchoptions: [["", "All"], ["1", "One"]]

Hello,

Thanks. Not bad idea.

I can think about this, but it will requiere more config options which will make the product like "mastodon".

Let me think about.
