Multipurpose jQuery Plugin for Filtering, Sorting & Searching

UniFilter jQuery Plugin is a #1 solution for filtering, sorting and searching through a set of items that can be your online shop, a photo gallery or simply some set of items.

With UniFilter you can set up any number of filters, range sliders and search boxes. On the other hand you can use only a single search box, while keep all other features disabled.

UniFilter can help you make your photo gallery or portfolio more organized and user-friendly by creating convenient and logical navigation. Plugin works well both on desktop and mobile devices.

UniFilter works by reading params (tags) from “data-” attributes assigned to list items and then it manipulates DOM tree by changing item position and appearance depending on active filters, selected ranges, search queries and sorting options.

Finally UniFilter can be placed anywhere in your website, in a sidebar or just above the grid. You just have to create an empty container and configure UniFilter to use it and the plugin will add all markup automatically.
