I am really taken with the new filters but they only work left to right in columns. That's fine when you are drilling down to find particular images but not so useful in other circumstances. If, for example, you have many images where the location is not entered but city, state etc is, it would be extremely handy if at the top of the filters pane there was a switch to reverse order the columns (yes I appreciate I can and have done, set up special filters for this but that gives me too many to use easily) or even better that all columns could filter out once a value has been selected in any column.
Example One. My catalogue includes many hundreds of images for which I will never be able to find much other than the country in which they were taken. But there are many other hundreds where only the location is missing. A reverse location filter would then give me the total in the 1st column and drill up in subsequent ones.
Example Two. I know that the image I want was with a particular lens (3rd col) and I think it was 2 or 3 years ago -ish but the date column still retains dates for the entire catalogue.

The whole point of having presets is because no one uses these the same way.
as to #2, add a date column after lens. Shift click (or Cmd/Ctrl) to select multiple dates
Well exactly. The whole point of my post was pointing out that presets will be multiple and awkward to use.
The non-filtering of cols 1 and 2 in the following if you are unsure of the year, makes it trial and error.

The following gives you a much tighter response

All I am asking is:
1. Could not all columns filter once primacy has been given to any column?
OR
2. Drag a column to achieve the same effect
 
Excellent! I'll do the same. And welcome to the forum - is it Sam?
