Sort menu

A compact sort control that drops a small menu of ordering options.

Sort: Newest

Installation

caveui components are copy-paste Jetpack Compose built entirely on Material 3 — there's no caveui dependency to add. Make sure Material 3 is on your classpath (it ships with the Compose BOM), then copy the Usage snippet below into your project.

kotlin

// build.gradle.kts (module)
dependencies {
    implementation(platform("androidx.compose:compose-bom:2025.06.00"))
    implementation("androidx.compose.material3:material3")
}

Usage

kotlin

@Composable
fun SortMenu(options: List<String>) {
    var open by remember { mutableStateOf(false) }
    var selected by remember { mutableStateOf(options.first()) }
    Box {
        TextButton(onClick = { open = true }) {
            Icon(Icons.AutoMirrored.Filled.Sort, null, Modifier.size(16.dp))
            Spacer(Modifier.width(6.dp))
            Text("Sort: $selected")
            Icon(Icons.Filled.ExpandMore, null, Modifier.size(16.dp))
        }
        DropdownMenu(expanded = open, onDismissRequest = { open = false }) {
            options.forEach { o ->
                DropdownMenuItem(
                    text = { Text(o) },
                    trailingIcon = {
                        if (o == selected) Icon(Icons.Filled.Check, null)
                    },
                    onClick = { selected = o; open = false },
                )
            }
        }
    }
