 * Is it possible to have links above your table, and when they are clicked to have
   them only display items in the link that were specified?

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question!
 * Yes, that should be possible, but unfortunately, I don’t have a readily usable
   solution for that 🙁
    You’ll basically need to write some custom JavaScript code
   here that uses the API functions of the DataTables JS library (see [http://www.datatables.net](http://www.datatables.net)
   for the API documentation) to trigger the filter process.
 * If the filter terms are direct cell values, this TablePress Extension might also
   be an option: [http://tablepress.org/extensions/datatables-columnfilterwidgets/](http://tablepress.org/extensions/datatables-columnfilterwidgets/)
 * Regards,
    Tobias
