ViewsPrimeNG - column filtering and languages with tones/accents
I want to perform filtering into columns of a table that contains data in Greek language.
Unfortunately the <p-columnFilter> component internally does not seem to recognize the characters with tones to be the same with the same character without a tone. For example a vowel with a tone (ή) is not matched with the same vowel witout tone (η).
Example with pictures below:
1) Filtering using the tone ή
2) Filtering without using the tone η (which does not match with ή)
In most filters out there on the web, characters with tone are matched with the same characters without tone and vice versa, how can I achieve the same here? Maybe if I could use the localeCompare function as filter function as an attribute in the columnFilter, but the documentation is not detailed in the table filtering section
I posted the same question in their github repository but I have not received any answer yet.

After reading their documentation, it looks like they don't expose their p-columnFilter component, nor is there an eventEmitter to get value changes on the input fields.
The fastest way to resolve your issue would be using their filter service and writing a custom filtering like this. (I used locale-contains library for this one): https://stackblitz.com/edit/primeng-filterservice-demo-qv3t3k?file=src%2Fapp%2Fapp.component.ts
