 * Hi,
 * I have rows with certain fields empty. However I sort my table it will always
   start with many rows having empty cells (not all cells but th important ones).
 * Is there a way to use custom filters to allow to only show rows where a certain
   field is NOT EMPTY?
 * My rows are INSTAGRAM, NAME, BIRTHDATE for example.
    I often have either the 
   instagram name, or the birthdate or the name, sometimes I havew all of them. 
   I would like to have the table start sorted by NAME but then the first pages 
   show an empty NAME column because many rows don’t have a name. If I could offer
   a filter to blend out all rows where NAME is EMPTY/NULL, the table would start
   with names from A-Z.
 * I have not found a solution to this, yet.

 * Hello [@bbudeck](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bbudeck/)
    Actually the 
   ascending filter works this way, so I’m afraid there is no workaround.
