## Installing A-Z Filters

You can install the A-Z Filters extension from inside WordPress. First, hover over "GravityKit" and click "Manage Your Kit".

*You can now add the A-Z filter to your View layouts*

## Adding an A-Z Filter to Your View

The A-Z Filter extension adds a new widget to GravityView - the “A-Z Entry Filter” widget. You can add this new widget to your View by clicking on the “Add Widget” button in the top and bottom widget areas.

## A-Z Filter Widget Settings

When you open up the A-Z Entry Filter Settings, you’ll see three options:

- **Use this field to filter entries** - Select a field in your View. Entries will be filtered by the first character of this field.
- **Alphabet** - Select the alphabet that should be used (this will depend on the language of the information in your View).
- **Use Uppercase Letters?** - Choose whether you want the A-Z filter links to be capitalized or lowercase.
