In this example the Category column uses a dropdown built from real values in the data, while other columns remain searchable and sortable, making it easy to narrow results without writing custom UI from scratch. The real power is in the data layer. The table can take the selected filter values, normalize them, and send them to the datasource in a format the query understands. This is where custom filter logic lives: you can map UI values into clean query values before filtering the table, which lets you support more advanced cases than the default built-in filters alone.
