Custom sort option

Not sure if I'm missing something but I can't find anything relevant in the docs/online Is there a way to add a custom sort option, without having the related column appear on the table? Eg I might want to sort by the ID column, without having the ID visible on the table. I tried having a hidden column but it didn't work.

TextColumn::make('ID')
  ->hidden()
  ->sortable()

TextColumn::make('ID')
  ->hidden()
  ->sortable()

Any idea/tips? Thanks in advance

Solution:

What about ```php TextColumn::make('ID') ->toggleable(isToggledHiddenByDefault: true)...

Do you mean that you want to sort the table by its ID by default?

Sorry, no. I want to have an option to sort by ID without having a column visible. Eg in the Filament demo site, I'd like this Without having a TextColumn::make('ID')->sortable() From what i can see, this is not possible, but I might be missing something

Looks like you are using the grid with sortable. I don't think it's possible... Maybe if you add a hidden extra attributes class to the header and cell attributes as the code would still bring it into the sortable select.

Yeah I guess I can hide it with CSS but that's too hacky even for me haha 😂 Anyway, thank you all for your time

What about

TextColumn::make('ID')
  ->toggleable(isToggledHiddenByDefault: true)
  ->sortable()

TextColumn::make('ID')
  ->toggleable(isToggledHiddenByDefault: true)
  ->sortable()

Yeah I thought about it but for some reason doesn't work as expected in my case. The columns remain visible no matter what? Weird stuff :/

Possibly the split view/grid?

Ah shit yeah, that's it 🤦 Oh well, I'll have to look into it. I'll accept your answer since it's the most sane workaround
