 Grab bag stuff that didn't fit into official TODO

+todo: missing feature, can't filter widgetlist by User due to no UserList being available
+	Is this meant to be text only filter and we have no id filter system?
+	How hard to add proper list selection and ID because it seems important?
+thoughts:
+	I think it might be possible to do this, but may not be desireable to do this:
+		Right now it assumes user is filtering by name which is useful and easy in some ways
+		if it was by ID that's pretty specific and not necessarily better for the user
+		it's better that they can select by click
+		but it's limiting in that they can't type "Ford*" and get all items that start with "Ford " i.e. all Ford dealers 
+			but if they want a specific ford dealer they can type "Ford Nashville Center" or whatever and get that specfic one
+possible implementation:
+	it appears that the server code filter criteria builder is built with this in mind (see below)
+	so it may be a case of changing DataList field definitions like this one:
+
+	   FieldDefinitions.Add(new AyaDataListFieldDefinition
+            {
+                TKey = "WidgetName",
+                FieldKey = "widgetname",
+                AyaObjectType = (int)AyaType.Widget,
+                UiFieldDataType = (int)UiFieldDataType.Text,
+                SqlIdColumnName = "awidget.id",
+                SqlValueColumnName = "awidget.name",
+                IsRowId = true
+            });
+
+	to uiFieldDataType = InternalId instead and some fixup at the client datagrid to support that as a text view column.
+	For now I'm going to leave it as is, it's not the end of the world to have to redefine it (though post release it might get ugly)
+
+Server:datalistsqlcriteriafilterbuilder:
+  //prep for possible ID field filter instead
+                    string columnNameToFilter = string.Empty;
+                    UiFieldDataType DataTypeToFilter = UiFieldDataType.NoType;
+                    //Check if filtering by ID rather than by name
+                    //this is indicated by this column being an id type
+                    //and by the comparison operator being eq or neq
+                    //and the value being a number not a string
+                    if (DataListField.HasIdColumn() && IsPossibleIdValue && (opType == DataListFilterComparisonOperator.Equality || opType == DataListFilterComparisonOperator.NotEqual))
+                    {
+                        columnNameToFilter = DataListField.SqlIdColumnName;
+                        DataTypeToFilter = UiFieldDataType.InternalId;
+                    }
+                    else
+                    {
+                        DataTypeToFilter = (UiFieldDataType)dataType;
+                        columnNameToFilter = DataListField.GetSqlValueColumnName();
