## Filtering
To add a filter, you can use the `list_filter` instruction. For instance, you can use this instruction to filter results by `Author` in your `Question` change page, so that, when selected, only the questions related to the specific author are displayed.

```python
list_filter = ('refAuthor',)
```
You will find a display like the one shown below. From the right side of the display page, you can select the specific author to filter results accordingly.


As can be seen, you now have a filter functionality situated at the top right of the screen.


You can also apply filters on foreign keys. You can try this with your `Choice` model. Create and register the `ChoiceAdmin` class in `sample_app/admin.py`.

```python
class ChoiceAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
	list_display = ('question', 'choice_text','votes','createdDate', 'updatedDate',)
	list_filter = ('question__refAuthor','question',)
	ordering = ('-createdDate',)
```

A special `__` character (double underscore) is used to indicate that the field is from a foreign key: `question__refAuthor` (`refAuthor` is a field of the foreign key question).
