[Solved] Set Filter option Default to Starts with

[Chad]

How can we make the first filter option default to "Starts with" instead of "Ends with"?

thanks.

.Filterable(filtering => filtering.Filters(filters => filters.Add(o => o.FirstName).StartsWith(

 

"")))

this seems to work.

I would also like to have something other that "Starts with" as default. It could be "Starts with" or "Contains".
The solutions that you suggest to you self makes your column show that is is filtered. I don't like that.I would like all of my columns to have "Contains" selected when the user is about to create a filter, but I don't want the column to look like there is a filter applied.
