Display filter button

Hi,

I'm building a very simple app. In my spreadsheet, I have 2 columns : Name and Entity. To visualize the information, I've created a Deck view and Sorted + Grouped the names by Entity.

Is there a way to create a button on top of my app allowing me to filter the content by Entity?  Only solution I've seen so far is to use the magnifying glass + Search + Filter > Entity > Select the entity. Useful but quite time consuming for the users. 

It'd be awesome for our users to have the filter available in one click only, or to be able to access this Filter by Entity directly from the app interface. 

Sorry if the question has already been asked, I couldn't find a clear answer adapted to my need. Thanks for your help and happy new year everyone!

One other option is to use user based filters to slice the data as the following sample shows. The app is meant for single user. However if you have a multi-user app, then you will need to add a users table with one row per user to store each user's filter settings and then access them in the slice filter expression.
