Improving user experience - Moving filter section in column menu or make it available in other dropdown

[aravindtrue]

I've started using it for past few weeks, it has really improved a lot with such a great performance. I would like to share few thoughts on filter section, which works great but need few improvements on look and feel. Right now, all filter options are displayed right below the column header and it will be visible all the time. As a user, I want to see it whenever I want to filter, is there any way to move the complete filter section in column menu i.e., after sort options?

Also, I was trying to position the filter section so that I can make it available in a dropdown on user demand. But this breaks the grid header when we have horizontal scroll bar.

Do you have any improvement plans for filter section? Can you please help to improve the look and feel?

The filter section is switchable, so you can easily add your own UI extras (perhaps in the grid menu) to show and hide the filter boxes. I think one of the tutorials even demonstrates this. Would this be sufficient for your needs? If not, you can use custom menu items on the columns to provide custom filter boxes. I have done this in one of my applications because I wanted to use modal windows to set the filters, and it works just fine.

@PaulL1 Can you please provide me a Plnkr or any demonstration link? It'll be very helpful for me to analyze.
