Change the default for all screens to make all columns Sortable and Filterable, similar to the way they are in the TEPS.

As an OMEGAMON Technical SME, I am asked frequently to create custom screens in the Enhanced 3270 User Interface (e3270ui).  Ninety-nine percent of the time, this is simply to add fields to FILTERCOLS and SORTCOLS.  While this is easy to do, you wind up with a custom workspace that needs to be maintained if new fields are ever introduced to the default version of the workspace with future maintenance.

    Hello, Thank you for opening this product enhancement request. I am pleased to announce "all critical" columns are sortable and filterable. If customers want more columns to have this functionality, we are happy to entertain it. Please reach out if you have any further questions. Regards IBM OMEGAMON Product Management
