8 Best Framer CMS Filter and Sort Tools in 2026

Framer CMS Filter is the most complete visitor-facing filter and sort system on this list. Insert a CMS Collection hub, then layer search inputs, dropdowns, checkbox groups, range sliders, facet chips, sort dropdowns, and clear-all buttons that share one store key — so a sidebar filter and a mobile top bar stay synchronized without overrides. Eight-plus filter types handle option fields, single references, and multi-references with AND/OR logic, while CMSSort and CMSSortToggle let visitors reorder by price, date, or any custom field. Personal licenses start at 79 USD one-time with remixable demo projects for template stores and real estate. Start here when the brief reads like faceted browsing, not a single category tab.

Superfields treats filtering and sorting as core CMS power-ups inside a broader plugin. Wire dropdowns, toggles, and checkboxes to any collection field — categories, tags, dates, references — and pair them with sort controls that reorder by date, name, or chosen fields, plus live item counts so visitors see how many results remain. Real-time search, favouriting, social sharing, and pagination ship in the same license, which keeps discovery UX under one vendor. Basic plans run 68 USD one-time for personal sites; Commercial at 109 USD covers unlimited client projects. Pick Superfields when filter-plus-sort is table stakes but you also need masonry grids or bookmarking on the same launch.

Dynamic Filters ship inside Framer: select a collection list, open the Content panel, choose a CMS field, and add a Dynamic control — tabs for category navigation, dropdowns for compact menus, checkboxes for multi-criteria narrowing, toggles for boolean fields, or search fields for text columns. Each filter creates a page variable you can style and reposition anywhere on the canvas, reset with a Clear Filters interaction, and stack so visitors combine criteria simultaneously. Sorting still lives in the collection list properties, but filter state updates in real time on publish. Treat this as the free baseline every CMS list page should try before buying plugins; upgrade when you need range sliders, facet counts, or synchronized filter groups across layouts.

CMS Multi Filter from Nabeel adds multiple dynamic filters to any CMS collection through a single code component. Connect your collection, add filters in the property panel, and choose Single Select or Multi Select per field — the component reads CMS data and builds interactive dropdowns that narrow results in real time. Layer names in the filter config must match text layers inside your CMS card exactly, which gives precise control over which fields drive each dropdown. Customize dropdown backgrounds, hover states, checkbox styling, and empty-state messaging without touching overrides. At 29 USD it is the focused pick when native Dynamic Filters look too generic but Framer CMS Filter feels like overkill for a two-field catalog.

Sift from Zain Malik uses a Logic Component plus Framer overrides instead of replacing your collection layout. Wire filter inputs, sort controls, result counters, and clear buttons to CMS items you already designed — including hidden text fields that exist only for filter matching — while keeping typography and spacing native to your file. Multi-select filters, live counts, configurable search scope, and custom empty states are supported, and Sift works on non-CMS lists when needed. Version 4 shipped in 2026 with continued marketplace updates. Install Sift when you want maximum layout control and are comfortable applying overrides to filter inputs and list items rather than dropping in prebuilt filter bars.

CMS Masonbox from FramerHub.io pairs a responsive masonry CMS grid with an optional filter component that renders pill-style category controls. Add CMSMasonbox for the layout, then CMSMasonboxFilter with the same category field name — filters auto-populate from CMS data on publish and support single-select or multi-select modes. Multi-reference refiltering handles linked categories when your CMS model uses reference fields. The basic masonry grid starts at 29 USD; the filter-enabled version runs 49 USD with remix access and per-site commercial licensing. Choose it when the UX is visual discovery — filtered masonry, not a directory with range sliders and sort dropdowns.

Dynamic Datatable is the first Framer component built for tabular filter and sort workflows at scale. Connect CSV files, static JSON, or REST APIs with client-side or server-side pagination, then enable global search, per-column text/number/date/boolean filters, single- or multi-column sorting, row selection, and CSV/JSON export from a configurable toolbar. Nine column types — badges, ratings, progress bars, and more — let you map CMS or API fields to production dashboard cells. Server-side mode auto-generates filter and sort query payloads for backend integration. At 11 USD it is the strongest value when stakeholders expect Excel-like narrowing on datasets too wide for card grids, not another pill filter above a masonry wall.

Table/Grid from Zeroqode transforms Framer CMS collections into interactive tables with up to fifteen mapped columns — text, numbers, dates, booleans, and images — plus search across rows, click-to-sort columns, pagination, row selection, and CSV export. Theme presets and advanced styling controls let the table match your brand without rebuilding cells by hand. Zeroqode bundles the plugin into a 10 USD/month subscription alongside other AI utilities. Reach for it when the filter-and-sort UX must look like a spreadsheet — sortable headers, searchable rows, export for stakeholders — rather than faceted pills above a card grid.
