How to set up and style the Filter Sort widget in Elementor.

Filter Sort lets visitors choose how the connected Loop Grid or Loop Carousel is ordered, as a dropdown or as buttons. With WooCommerce it also offers price, best selling and best rated.

Part of: Bright Addons Pro. Before you start: A Loop Grid or Loop Carousel with a Query ID on the same page (Bright Addons Pro).

Set it up

  1. Add a Loop Grid or Loop Carousel and type a Query ID in its Layout section, for example blog-grid.

  2. Add the Filter Sort widget from the Bright Addons Filters category.

  3. Under Filter, choose the Sort Options and Show As.

  4. Type the same Query ID in Connect to Query ID.

  5. Publish the page and try the filter on the live page.

Questions and answers

Does the page reload when a visitor uses the filter?

No. The connected loop widget loads the new results in place, and the other filters update to match.

Does sorting keep the other filters?

Yes. The new order applies to the filtered results.

Can I filter an archive that uses Current Query?

No. Archives built on the current query use normal page links. Choose a source such as Posts or Products in the loop widget to filter it.
