File Manager : List view of assets with all details stated where we can filter and align assets

[sunnythelucky]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I was hoping after enabling Elastic search to be able to do more advanced search queries within the file Manger but Unfortunately, that is not the case. Is there a guide on how to implement such a thing in the file manager using the elastic search plugin or is there a use case already done for advance searching in the file manager. I found that there was a similar feature request : #1951

Describe the solution you'd like.

What I am thinking of is a list that shows assets with all the details stated. And we can filter or align the assets according to the 'creation date', 'modified date', 'A-Z', 'Z-A', 'type of File', 'file size' etc. And for the UI, I am thinking of a simple data table like this: https://material.io/components/data-tables#usage

Describe alternatives you've considered.

@sunnythelucky currently, it's not possible to implement this type of UI. The limitation is primarily on the UI side, not the API (elastic search).

First, we're upgrading our underlying RMWC UI library to the latest version, which will be the beginning of some of these improvements (for example, we'll finally have access to proper data table component).

Secondly, current FileManager component is very hard-coded, and we need to do some refactoring to enable customizations of the entire FileManager overlay, or parts of it. While doing that, we'll make sure you can implement different views yourself, and maybe even provide some out of the box.

Glad you opened this issue, it will help us prioritize better. Unfortunately, right now, there's nothing you can do on your end to customize that FM overlay :(
