WordPress table data ordering and filtering

The new filter system enables you to create a comprehensive data search engine. You can activate a search or filter system for each column, allowing for efficient retrieval of tailored information. This feature simplifies the user experience by making it easier to search specific data.

Once the filter option is enabled on your table, you can search for data in each column and filter the data the whole table. It's also working on large tables that include pagination.

The up and down arrow displayed on each column will sort the data of your whole table. The table data ordering also works on large tables that include pagination. The interesting part is, that HTML tables are responsive on mobile.

Once you've created your table with all the data you need you can let users sort as they want but you can also define a default order. That could be pretty handy when data is changing through time, like for a result of a race, you can order the runners by order of arrival after the race.

The pagination is needed if you want to display a large table on a small space on your website frontend while preserving your server resources. You can select a predefined amount of rows of the table, per page.

You have the option to choose a filter control for each column in your data, such as an input box, a select box, a dropdown menu, or a range bar. This gives users the flexibility to interact with the data in a way that suits their needs. These different filtering options are helpful for refining searches, which leads to faster and more accurate results.
