# Filter table content in admin

 * I have a very long table (±950 records)in which I need to enter images. As I 
   need to click the ‘insert image’ every time I move to another record, I spend
   a lot of time scrolling! Is there a way to filter the table rows in the admin,
   so that I can insert images in smaller batches, with less scrolling?
 * B.t.w. I am very happy to have found this plugin: it does just what I need within
   no time at all (as opposed to NextGen which has taken me weeks to not do what
   I want!!!)

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * I’m really sorry, but unfortunately, it is not possible to filter the table on
   the “Edit” screen. I do have some ideas to make this possible, but that will 
   still take some time for development. Sorry. 🙁
 * Meanwhile, maybe the browser’s search function can help you navigate on the page
   more quickly? If you use the “Ctrl+F” shortcut that most browsers use, that should
   help.
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Thanks Tobias for your quick reply!
 * I am sorry to read there is no easy soluation.
 * I am now trying to work with sorting the image column by content, empty fields
   first. Every now and then saving will re-sort the records and bring up the records
   that still need edited close to the table manipulation screen. Not optimal, but
   better!
 * I’ll keep an eye out for any developments, keep up the good work!
