+# GridFS Manager Filter And Sort Design
+
+**Date:** 2026-07-06
+
+## Goal
+
+Extend the existing GridFS manager and bucket browser so MongoDB users can filter and sort GridFS data without leaving the dedicated GridFS workflow.
+
+This work covers three user-facing improvements:
+
+- add query-style filter and sort controls to the GridFS file list
+- add filter and sort controls to the GridFS bucket manager
+- make the GridFS sidebar node more visually distinct from regular Mongo collections
+
+## Background
+
+The dedicated GridFS browser shipped on 2026-07-03 and already provides:
+
+- a single `GridFS` sidebar entry per Mongo database
+- a database-level manager page for bucket CRUD
+- a bucket-level file browser for upload, download, and delete
+
+Issue #2589 reports that the new Mongo manager flow still lacks filtering. The current UI shows static tables only:
+
+- `MongoGridFsBrowser.vue` lists bucket summaries with no filter or sort controls
+- `MongoBucketBrowser.vue` lists bucket files with a fixed default ordering
+- the backend `list_gridfs_files` API always runs an empty `find({})` with a built-in descending upload date sort
+
+The goal of this iteration is to keep the dedicated GridFS UX, but make it feel closer to the existing Mongo document query experience.
+
+## Current State
+
+### File browser
+
+`MongoBucketBrowser.vue` currently:
+
+- loads every file in the selected bucket
+- shows a table with metadata columns
+- supports upload, download, delete, refresh
+- has no filter input
+- has no user-controlled sort
+- has no query preview
+
+### Bucket manager
+
+`MongoGridFsBrowser.vue` currently:
+
+- loads every GridFS bucket summary for the database
+- shows bucket name, file count, and total size
+- supports create, delete, open, refresh
+- has no filter input
+- has no user-controlled sort
+
+### Sidebar
+
+`TreeItem.vue` currently renders:
+
+- `mongo-gridfs` and `mongo-buckets` with `Archive` plus amber styling
+- `mongo-bucket` with a very similar `Archive` plus lighter amber styling
+
+This makes the GridFS entry readable, but not especially distinct from other MongoDB tree nodes.
+
+## Requirements
+
+### Functional
+
+- users can filter GridFS files within a bucket
+- users can sort GridFS files within a bucket
+- users can filter GridFS buckets within a database
+- users can sort GridFS buckets within a database
+- file-list sorting works both from explicit sort input and column-header sort actions
+- the GridFS sidebar entry has a clearer dedicated visual treatment
+
+### Behavioral
+
+- existing upload, download, delete, create, and open flows keep working
+- existing callers that omit new query parameters retain current behavior
+- invalid filter or sort input produces visible errors rather than silent fallback
+
+## Chosen Approach
+
+### Query model
+
+Use one consistent principle across both GridFS pages:
+
+- execute filter and sort on the server
+- keep frontend controls visually aligned with the document query UI
+- only reuse document-query semantics where the underlying data shape supports it cleanly
+
+### Bucket file browser
+
+The file browser should closely mirror Mongo document query behavior.
+
+Frontend:
+
+- add `filter` and `sort` text inputs to `MongoBucketBrowser.vue`
+- show a query preview string for the effective GridFS file query
+- trigger reload on Enter, refresh click, and table-header sort changes
+- map header sort actions back into the `sort` input, matching `DocumentBrowser.vue`
+
+Backend:
+
+- extend the GridFS file list API to accept optional `filter` and `sort` strings
+- parse them with the same Mongo document parsing helpers already used by document queries
+- run the query against `<bucket>.files` as `find(filter).sort(sort)`
+- preserve the existing default sort of `uploadDate desc, _id desc` when no sort is provided
+
+Preview format:
+
+- use `db.getCollection("<bucket>.files").find(...).sort(...).skip(0).limit(...)` style output
+- the preview exists for transparency and consistency, even if the file browser continues returning a plain row list instead of a paged document result object
+
+### Bucket manager
+
+The bucket manager should adopt the same interaction style, but not pretend bucket summaries are raw Mongo documents.
+
+Frontend:
+
+- add a lightweight `filter` input for bucket-name matching
+- add a sort control that behaves like the existing query toolbar and table-header sorting
+- keep the manager table focused on `name`, `fileCount`, and `totalBytes`
+
+Backend:
+
+- extend the bucket list API to accept optional filter and sort parameters
+- filter bucket summaries by normalized bucket name match
+- sort bucket summaries by one of:
+  - `name`
+  - `fileCount`
+  - `totalBytes`
+- default to `name asc` when no explicit sort is provided
+
+This gives the manager page service-side filtering and sorting while staying honest about the underlying data model, which is aggregated summary data rather than a directly queried collection.
+
+### Sidebar icon treatment
+
+Keep the existing icon family but make the top-level GridFS entry visually stand apart.
+
+- `mongo-gridfs`: keep `Archive` but switch to a more distinctive cool color so it no longer blends with ordinary Mongo tree items
+- `mongo-bucket`: keep the same icon family with a related but softer shade
+
+The goal is recognition, not a broad tree redesign.
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Backend layers
+
+Update the GridFS query path across all transport layers:
+
+- `crates/dbx-core/src/db/mongo_driver.rs`
+- `crates/dbx-core/src/document_ops.rs`
+- `src-tauri/src/commands/document_cmd.rs`
+- `crates/dbx-web/src/routes/document_store.rs`
+- `apps/desktop/src/lib/backend/tauri.ts`
+- `apps/desktop/src/lib/backend/http.ts`
+
+The backend remains backward compatible by treating all new parameters as optional.
+
+### Frontend layers
+
+Update the dedicated GridFS views:
+
+- `apps/desktop/src/components/document/MongoBucketBrowser.vue`
+- `apps/desktop/src/components/document/MongoGridFsBrowser.vue`
+
+Reuse document-query support where it fits:
+
+- `apps/desktop/src/lib/app/documentStoreProvider.ts`
+
+Update the sidebar presentation in:
+
+- `apps/desktop/src/components/sidebar/TreeItem.vue`
+
+## Data Flow
+
+### File browser
+
+1. User opens a GridFS bucket tab.
+2. `MongoBucketBrowser.vue` builds the current `filter` and `sort` state.
+3. Frontend sends the new parameters through the shared document-store API.
+4. Rust applies the filter and sort to `<bucket>.files`.
+5. The returned file list renders in the table and side detail panel.
+6. If the user clicks a sortable header, the UI rewrites the `sort` input and reloads.
+
+### Bucket manager
+
+1. User opens the `GridFS` manager tab.
+2. `MongoGridFsBrowser.vue` sends current manager filter and sort state.
+3. Rust collects bucket summaries, filters them, sorts them, and returns the list.
+4. The manager table and summary pane update in place.
+
+## Error Handling
+
+- invalid Mongo-style file filter input should surface as a visible page error
+- invalid file sort input should surface as a visible page error
+- unsupported bucket-manager sort fields should return a clear backend error
+- empty filter input should behave like no filter
+- missing sort input should fall back to the page default sort
+- write operations continue to use the existing read-only safeguards
+
+## Testing
+
+### Frontend
+
+Add or update Vitest coverage for:
+
+- GridFS query preview formatting in `documentStoreProvider`
+- request assembly for GridFS file filter and sort loading
+- request assembly for GridFS bucket filter and sort loading
+- sidebar icon and color mapping for `mongo-gridfs` and `mongo-bucket`
+
+### Backend
+
+Add Rust coverage for:
+
+- GridFS file filter parsing
+- default file sort fallback
+- explicit file sort handling
+- bucket summary filtering
+- bucket summary sorting by supported fields
+
+## Scope Boundaries
+
+### Included now
+
+- service-side GridFS file filtering
+- service-side GridFS file sorting
+- service-side GridFS bucket filtering
+- service-side GridFS bucket sorting
+- query-style toolbar inputs for the file browser
+- visually improved GridFS sidebar node styling
+
+### Not included now
+
+- pagination contract changes for GridFS APIs
+- turning bucket summaries into full Mongo document queries
+- advanced bucket filter builders
+- drag-and-drop upload improvements
+- inline file editing or file preview
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- users can narrow GridFS files with Mongo-style filter input
+- users can sort GridFS files from either toolbar input or table headers
+- users can narrow and sort GridFS bucket summaries from the manager page
+- the dedicated GridFS sidebar node is easier to distinguish at a glance
+- existing GridFS CRUD flows keep working without regression
