Repeat steps 3-6, but this time, the Safer_or_Toxic facet returns to the list (and the related URL parameters are removed). I'm not sure how to do a pull request for this, because the plugin contains other functionality that goes beyond this bug. I wanted the facets sorted in a certain order (both in the suggested facet list, and the detail lists) (... the detail lists were hopping around all over the place before...) I wanted the duplicate facets removed (leaving only the one where you can facet by individual item in an array.) I wanted the arrays to be presented in a prettier fashion (I did that in the template... That could be moved over to the plugin at some point) I'm thinking it'll be very helpful if applicable parts of my project's plugin (sort_suggested_facets_plugin.py) will be able to be incorporated back into datasette, but I leave that to you to consider. (* The disappearing facet bug was especially confusing because I'm removing the filters and sql from the table page, at the request of the organization. The filters and sql detail created a lot of confusion for end users who try to find disinfectants used by Hospitals, for instance, as an '=' won't find them, since they are part of the Use_site array.) My disappearing-facet confusion was documented in my own issue: https://github.com/mroswell/list-N/issues/57 (addressed by the plugin). Other facet-related issues here: https://github.com/mroswell/list-N/issues/54 (addressed by the plugin); https://github.com/mroswell/list-N/issues/15 (addressed by template); https://github.com/mroswell/list-N/issues/53 (not yet addressed).
