Vertical filter panel
Vertical filter panels are a classic and widely recognized filtering tool. Unlike their horizontal counterparts, vertical panels have the advantage of accommodating large numbers of filter groups, making them particularly suitable for desktop devices.
However, it's worth noting that vertical filter panels tend to consume a significant amount of horizontal space. Research from the Baymard Institute indicates that users often overlook them entirely.[1]
Therefore, the choice of filter panel type should be based on your specific requirements, the space available, and the quantity of filter options you're dealing with.
