 * Tobias,
 * I _just_ discovered TablePress and have to give you kudos for an amazing job!
   Your plugin is both powerful and flexible.
 * Right out of the gate, I feel like I’m pushing the envelope of its potential 
   by attempting to replicate the table sorting capabilities shown [here](http://bit.ly/1HSlpxp)
   on my page shown [here](http://bit.ly/1LfLXxf) (rough draft).
 * Specifically, I am trying to determine a method of additive filters, both showing
   those that are being applied, and adding additional filters by clicking on the
   links.
 * From your perspective – do you think this is possible, and by use of what extensions,
   if any?

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * I see what you mean, but unfortunately, I’m not aware of an existing solution
   to this 🙁
    TablePress is using the external DataTables JavaScript library (which
   is not developed by me) for the sorting, filtering, etc., so that the best approach
   probably is to try to develop a custom solution that use the library’s JS API
   functions. The documentation at [http://www.datatables.net/](http://www.datatables.net/)
   should be a good starting point.
 * With that, the best approach should be to let TablePress “deliver” the HTML code
   only, while then adding that custom JS solution to the page.
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Tobias,
 * I somewhat understood that that may be what had to be done. I appreciate your
   prompt response.
 * Chüß
