Filtering loot history by item name

[guliano]

Hi, can tou add feature for filtering loot history by item name?

How would filtering by item name be useful?

To me it would just be a very big list of mostly useless names. I can only imagine a few items (tier tokens, trinkets) that actually makes sense to filter for, in which case filtering by item type would be more useful. Filtering by item name would also require a scrollable menu, which requires a lot of extra code.

It would be useful to see who received specific item. Now is hard to find this information by scrolling long list

This list would still be potentially several thousand items long - I just don't see a good way to implement it nor make it useful.

I noticed sorting by item doesn't sort the history properly - I'll fix that next update. This way it's as easy to find a specific item as your suggestion, and would still enable you to see whom a specific item has been awarded to.

Filter by item type.
Filter by min item level
could also be very useful

I actually export the data to spreadsheet so that we can do exactly this filter. We want to see, for example, all of the players that received Azuresong Mageblade over the past 4 months of raiding. We can do this easily in the spreadsheet using a simple filter, but we can't do this in the addon. This is a procedure that we perform regularly. I want to also note that the number of entries passing through the filter is often only a handful. Our council will go through a list of items regularly and see who has gotten them in the past and then discuss who is next in line and then re-prioritize. I would suggest that sorting by name isn't necessary, but I don't know if you need to sort first in order to filter so .. maybe it's not feasible.

@mcd8604 Still, using the current implementation is not feasible. #179 is the way to go for this.
