This is fairly common when the data involved are relatively small. It's much faster and a much better user experience to query the server once for a couple of hundred items and allow the user to view it with different criteria than it is to do a round trip to the server every time the user wants to change or refine the selected data.

What's your objection to it?

I've just never seen a scenario where the amount of data wasn't too large for the browser to be responsive while doing things this way.
