Retain list state

[richard-cox]

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

• For resource lists users can change the
  • sort column and order
  • text filter
  • page
• Users can then leave the page, for instance to look at a specific resource, and then return to the list. The user then needs to re-enter those to see the same results
• Users can be interested in a specific filter (my-pods, prod-, etc) which needs to be reapplied every session
• Users can be interested in a specific sort (newest resources, state, etc) which needs to be reapplied every session

Describe the solution you'd like
The breadth of this is up for debate, but basically we could persist and re-apply state in various situations. We need to review this to come up with a specific requirement. Various situations include

• Only when a user is returning to a resource list from a resource detail page
• Only within the context of a cluster. There would be different list states for the same resource in different clusters
  • Sort though could apply to all clusters?

To reduce complexity the scope of the issue could be restricted to the current session, though could forsee this being a follow on request

Additional context

• The list grouping is persisted across sessions and applied to all lists and clusters
  • This also includes custom groups. For instance a user can select filtering pods by node, changing to a different list means this selection is lost and grouping returns to defaul
• The ns/project filter is persisted across sessions and applied to all lists (and is per cluster)
