We are already aware of the Advanced Lookup feature that is available on any lookup column that’s on a quick create form, edit form, or dialog box. Using this, we can easily sort rows and switch between tables or views in a lookup column.

As an addition to the same, you can now use the Advanced Lookup feature in the Edit filter window as well to filter out data in the lookup column.
