• I have provided sufficient information below to help reproduce this issue.

Summary

If you use filtering to highlight cells, then sort a column without closing the filter, the former positions of the highlighted (filtered) cells remain highlighted. If you sequentially navigate the highlight cells, they remain in their incorrect positions. You have to update the filter to change the highlight positions to match the new sort order.

Reproducible Code Example

import streamlit as st
import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame({
    "A": ["foo","foo","foo","bar","bar","bar", "baz", "baz", "baz"],
    "B": ["one","one","two","two","one","one", "two", "two", "one"]
})
st.dataframe(df)

Steps To Reproduce

1. Run the app
2. Use the dataframe filter to search for "foo"
3. Leave the filter open and click the column header to sort and move the "foo" cells.
4. Click the step buttons in the filter.

You will remain stuck within the former positions of the "foo" cells (until you update the string filter).
