Preserve ListView in Visualforce and Apex

Question

I have overriden a tab with Visualforce page. I have used standard controller and the following markup to display different views:

<apex:selectList value="{!filterId}" size="1">
    <apex:actionSupport event="onchange"  rerender="list"/>
    <apex:selectOptions value="{!listviewoptions}"/>
</apex:selectList>

However, when I choose a view, click on a record and then press back button, the previous view is not preserved. I don't know how to handle this issue. Any idea or help with coding is appreciated. Note: since users should be able to create new views themselves, I don't want any hard-coded listviewoptions

Answer 1

Perhaps store the value selected by user in a browser cookie (salesforce provides methods to do this), and then have your page controller extension retrieve this cookie at page load and use it as initial list view option selected ie store it in filterId field and then retrieve initial list of results to present.
