Possibility to save filter- and sort-criterias
Saved filter- and sortcriterias that are often used can easily be applied to a table.

I agree. I'm migrating over from Handbase, and I really miss the ability to simultaneously save BOTH filter AND sort settings in one view/profile.

Thanks JK, but that takes time and keystrokes for something that is repeated often. What I think would be valuable is to be able to save commonly used filter/sort combinations into named views that can be accessed easily. To save a view, user should be able to configure filters and sort order, then click "Save View", and give it a name. The user can save multiple views on a table. Later, the user should be able to quickly and easily apply the same filter/sort arrangement by opening the table and selecting the named view from a menu. Handbase supports this feature and it is very powerful.

There is a bit of a klutzy workaround for this. While one can only currently sort by one column, one can apply filters to multiple columns/fields, then apply a sort within the filtered records. It's not pretty, or intuitive, but it works for some databases.
I use this method for my shopping list. Filter by store; filter by check box field; then sort by item.
