Lets say we have a lot of products, and we want to sort products by a filter, so that we can find quickly what we are looking for. Products page is specific to products in wordpress admin. It shows filters that are only related to products. If I want to view products that are out of stock, I can select 'out of stock' from dropdown and press 'filter button'. It will show me which products are 'out of stock'. This is fine. But what if we want to add more filters to poducts page? For example 'filter by tag' or 'filter by a custom taxonomy'.

Admin Taxonomy Filter helps you to filter posts or custom post types in the admin area by custom taxonomies. It’s similar to filter posts by categories, which is supported by default. The plugin supports filter by multiple taxonomies and has settings to let you choose which taxonomies are filterable. At its settings page, you will see list of all taxonomies that are available to filter under each post type. I will go to 'Products' area. Select 'Product visibility' and 'Product tags'. Now I will be able to sort or filter products by tags and 'product visibility' in products page in wodpress admin. Now this is not just for the products. You can add custom filters to any post type. I have a custom post type named testimonials. And I have added taxonomies for testimonials. Those are buyers, sellers and vendors. In 'Admin Taxonomy Filter' settings page, under testimonials custom post type, i have these taxonomies to select. If I will select these, For testimonials page, these will be added as filters. Then I will be able to sort testimonials by buyers, sellers and vendors. So it works with any post type.
