Head to WordPress Dashboard <\/em><\/strong>><\/em><\/strong> JetEngine <\/em><\/strong>><\/em><\/strong> Post Types<\/em><\/strong>. <\/strong>Find the needed Post Type<\/strong> and edit it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After that, scroll down to the Admin Filter tool and click \u201cAdd new<\/strong>\u201d in the Admin Filters section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The basic setup is over; now, let’s create a specific filter type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Create Admin Filters for Posts by Taxonomies<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

This filter type helps the admin to sort posts by taxonomy assigned to the needed Custom Post Type<\/strong>. Follow this tutorial to learn more about How to Create a Custom Taxonomy<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, there is a \u201cRoom\u201d post type, and we need to filter rooms by the \u201cRoom Types\u201d <\/strong>taxonomy.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the Admin tab in the Custom Post Type is opened, set the Name\/Placeholder<\/strong> for a filter and select the \u201cFilter by Taxonomy\u201d option <\/strong>in the Type <\/strong>dropdown. <\/em><\/strong>Then, don\u2019t forget to pick the needed Taxonomy<\/strong> by which posts will be filtered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"filter\n\n\n\n

To change the categories display order in the filters, enable the Show Counts <\/strong>feature and set the \u201cFrom highest to lowest values\u201d Order<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"setting\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Build Admin Filters by Meta Data<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Glossary option source<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Firstly, create a filter with the \u201cFilter by meta data\u201d Type<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"filter\n\n\n\n

Now to filter by specific meta field, select it from the list.
To pull the labels from the glossary, choose the samely named item in the Options Source<\/strong> drop-down and pick the needed glossary from the Glossary<\/strong> list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"glossary\n\n\n\n

Mind that if you use the date timestamp field, there can be issues with its data display. Read more about it if you are Unable to Display Date Field in the Admin Filters Properly<\/a>.\n<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In the following picture, you may see configured admin filter:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"admin\n\n\n\n

Save the changes and check the results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"glossary\n\n\n\n

Field options source<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Now we will create another admin filter, but the \u201cSelect from database\u201d or \u201cField options\u201d configuration will be used in the current case. It depends on the meta field type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This option pulls the value out of the meta field from each post that has a value inside the selected field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this example, a filter is by the text field, which shows a cost for a specific room according to the Custom Meta Field <\/em><\/strong>key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"filter\n\n\n\n

The same result can be achieved by selecting the exact meta field from the list. You may see the configuration in the picture below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"filter\n\n\n\n

In this case, we should choose the \u201cSelect from database\u201d Options Source<\/strong>. This option can be different depending on the meta field type you will use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"select\n\n\n\n

Now let’s check the result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"admin\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
