Hi 👋 welcome to a new post!

As a wise man said (forgot the name), “Frustration is the mother of innovation”.

For one of my projects at work, I needed to query and sort some tables. The requirement was to let the user filter and sort the data on any field.

What I didn’t expect was that some fields were enum values under the hood…. how should I filter/sort these values, when the user searches using their text representation (and, even more difficult, translated in their language)?

Hi! Welcome to a new post 👋 .

It’s been a while since the last time I wrote on the blog (June 🥶). I had a lot to do during the summer (had to organise my wedding 💍) and didn’t find inspiration to write. I promise I’ll be more active from now on 😁.

BTW, let’s get right into business.

I just got back from Update Conference in Prague! Update is a conference focused on .NET and related technologies (all in Microsoft salsa).
