Portal data not showing initially

[Herb]

See attached screenshot. I'm showing a selection screen for the user to choose a portal row. The portal shows related donors based on the data relationship using a global field called "Filter Option 2" in the Organization record. The script that displays this screen sets Filter Option 2 to "" (blank". Organization/Filter Option 2 is the field that is used on the layout shown. However, no portal data is shown until I enter something in the Filter field and hit the tab key. If I key "" into the filter, or any other value, then it works perfectly. How do I get the portal data to display on the initial presentation of the screen?

Thank you.

Issue resolved. Setting the global filter prior to going the layout resolved it. Thanks.
