N.B.
1. K2 Filtrify is Joomla! module and does not filter the view of any K2 Category. It has its own view like any other Joomla/K2 module, which can be overwritten in any template to look like K2 Category.
2. K2 Filtrify is client-side filtering module and all calculations are made by the user's browser. If you need module that will filter more than 150-200 items at once you will need to use server-side filtering like "Filter for K2".
3. K2 Filtrify works with all type of K2 fields except "Link", "Searchable labels" and "CSV data" type.
