This does relate back to the earlier forays into
http://datatables.net/, where pagination (3) and multicolumn filtering
(2) comes out of the box - especially as long as everything can be
sent to the client. The question is how to have a good division of
labor with the server - as I'm not sure we would want to have the
browser tackle 8000 rows on the client (though that is what we do
today, right?).

I think Datatables could also work for request (1) above, in that you
can display the details within the table, as in my example here:

Bug description:
I suggest to imporove general functionality of listings (like list or indicators or list of data elements). I found current behavior quite annoying:

1. Filter and position is lost after modifying element details - if you need to maintain for example large number of data elements, current behaviour is really not very useful

2. I would also suggest to extend filtering options so the user can use more fields than just a name = for example, short name, alias name and code would be very usefull.

3. Paging option in long listings will be also very usefull, currently we have about 8 000 organizational units and assigning them into groups is really a paintful job.

Thx
