Considerations when using the FILTERS?

If you need to filter through a long list of names for a webinar and find the first 25 registrants, you can sort the registration date column from oldest to newest.

Another example is if you need to sort through the test grades of a Physics exam and count how many students scored above a B+. From the drop-down filter menu, you can apply filters to the test grade column to exclude the students that scored lower than a B+.
