Allow users to sub-filter curated lists and searches
Sharing curated lists and searches is helpful, but sometimes they are still too big or broad to be useful for everyone. It would be great if users could further filter them. Right now that does not appear to be possible.

For Curated Searches users will be able to link to view as a Search Result. This will allow the user the further narrow, filter, refine and save the search to their liking.

I very much agree with Michael and Rebecca and have created a new suggested thread related to this- filtering Curated Lists (as well as Tracked Opps).
As of now, one can only sort (not filter) by Title, Deadline, or Last Published within one's list of Tracked Opps. Similarly, one can only sort (not filter) by Deadline (soonest > latest or latest > soonest"), Title, Funder Name, Amount (highest > lowest or lowest > highest), or Last Published (most recent > oldest) within Curated Lists.
As a Grant Strategist at my institution, I am curating lists for 12 different research groups with broad research topics. Therefore, each list can contain hundreds of Opps. If each of our department's 300+ researchers, PhD students and post-docs could *at least* filter the Curated List according to Funding Type, Keyword and Career Stage in addition to sorting by Deadline, Funder Name, etc. (which is presently available), this would allow them to more easily and quickly find the opportunities most relevant and applicable to them among the list I have curated for their entire research group.

It is helpful that the ability to search/sub-filter within a curated *search* has been implemented, but as of 8/2022 users still lack the ability to search/sub-filter within a curated *list*. Some of our lists are 500+ items long, so sorting alphabetically or by deadline is a cumbersome way to find what we need within a curated list.
