ZO_PlayerInventorySortByNew:SetHidden

[circonian]

Is there an easy way to hide the "New" sort header in the inventory backpack when an addon loads?

I tried doing this on player activation:

ZO_PlayerInventorySortByNew:SetHidden(true)

But it must be reset to visible somewhere as the game is loading because that doesn't work.

There are internal tables used to hide some columns base on current filter:

-- Inventory.lua
 
    local typicalHiddenColumns =
    {
        ["statValue"] = true,
    }
 
    local questHiddenColumns =
    {
        ["statValue"] = true,
        ["age"] = true,
        ["stackSellPrice"] = true,
    }
 
    local gearHiddenColumns =
    {
        -- Don't hide anything!
    }
 
    local tradingHouseHiddenColumns =
    {
        ["statValue"] = true,
        ["age"] = true,
    }

You can get hold of these via backpack inventory, for example:

-- untested
 
local function getHiddenColumnsByFilterType(inventory, filterType)
   for i, tabData in ipairs(inventory.tabFilters) do
      -- the second comparison is a bit of a hack;
      -- unlike all other filters, TradingHouseFilter is a local function in Inventory.lua,
      -- so we have no value to compare with -- compare type instead
      if tabData.filterType == filterType or type(tabData.filterType) == filterType then
         return tabData.hiddenColumns
      end
   end
end
 
local inventory = PLAYER_INVENTORY.inventories[INVENTORY_BACKPACK]
local typicalHiddenColumns = getHiddenColumnsByFilterType(inventory, ITEMFILTERTYPE_ALL)
local questHiddenColumns = getHiddenColumnsByFilterType(inventory, ITEMFILTERTYPE_QUEST)
local gearHiddenColumns = getHiddenColumnsByFilterType(inventory, ITEMFILTERTYPE_ARMOR)
local tradingHouseHiddenColumns = getHiddenColumnsByFilterType(inventory, "function")
 
-- then add a truthful value for "age"
typicalHiddenColumns["age"] = "hidden by add-on Foo"

So something like this:

local tabFilters = PLAYER_INVENTORY.inventories[INVENTORY_BACKPACK].tabFilters
for _, filter in pairs(tabFilters) do
    filter.hiddenColumns["age"] = true
end

Or hack to hide header, but leave column visible:

ZO_PlayerInventorySortByNew:SetHidden(true)
ZO_PlayerInventorySortByNew:SetHandler("OnShow", function(self) self:SetHidden(true) end)

Oh yeah, I'de written some tabFilters for JunkIts inventory filters, but I forgot all about those hidden column tables.

Awesome idea, thanks for the help both of you, worked great.
