Feature: Filter
Filter
1️⃣ Perhaps the best feature of the entire site is the ease of which the data as it grows can be sort and presented. This is handled through the Filter.
On most of the pages, we have filters. By default, we include and/or exclude certain things. The filter will include anything that's blue and exclude anything that's red. For example, if you want to see all spells from Xanathar's Guide to Everything that a Warlock can use but can't be used by a Wizard then you need to have "Xanathar's Guide to Everything" and "Warlock" in blue and "Wizard" in red - when you're in the Filter drop-down clicking an icon cycles the color from white (it doesn't matter either way) to blue (include these things) to red (exclude these things). If you get lost then simply click the Reset button and the filtering will go back to the default for that page.

4️⃣ Filter Statistics
- Represented by the numbers in the
<Results> / <Total Entries>
format at the right side of the search field.
- Represented by the numbers in the
- <Result> - The total number of results that results from the filter's effects
- <Total Entries> - this includes the total possible items from which the filter is working from all included results.
- In the video example, the Results are
0
for that rather complicated filter list, from the Total Entries value of a possible4974
creatures. Which results in the 0/4974 displayed.

5️⃣ Feeling Lucky
- This feature is helpful for making a random encounter, random spell scroll, magic item choice etc.
- Feeling Lucky is most often a tool for DM's to generate a random result from their narrowed set of wished possible pool of results.
- Example: The DM wishes to give the players a scroll, and the party is a bit... well... murder hobo-ish, so (s)he removes evocation spells from the options and instead focuses upon enchantments and transmutations.

Sorting
- If you click on the column name in a table then the data in that column is sorted; clicking on it again will reverse the sort direction. Where possible, we've tried to be logical about the sorting, e.g. Self then touch then various distances then Unlimited and Special at the far end; some of the sorting is still work-in-progress - if you have any good ideas on how to improve it please let us know, e.g. sorting by Ability in Feats.
