I have list in MOSS with several columns some of these columns are business data columns which are not sortable or filterable themselves. The other columns are standard columns of type "single line of text" or people such as modified by etc. These columns have the small arrow which allows them to be sorted or filtered. The problem is if you filter one of these columns you don't always get the choice to "clear filter from" whatever you filtered on. In fact, sometimes you get the choice to clear filter from another column completely and they happen to be BDC columns in case that is significant. So for example I filter on a single line of text column called Org num with values like 1.1.10 or 1.1.20.2 The view changes and I see list items with the org num I filtered on. However when I go to turn it off, I'm on the org num column but I am seeing "clear filter from" and it is listing one of the BDC columns. Not only that the BDC column it suggest you clear from changes so sometimes it's name, sometimes organization, but always BDC columns. Any suggestions as to why this might be happening? I tried another list in this environment without bdc columns and the filtering seemed to turn off and on ok.
