Problem: I would like to set up a custom search View that is paginated with 30 posts per page, and I would like to configure sorting criteria for the results.

Solution: You can find ordering, limit, and pagination options in the View editor screen. If any of these options are not visible, scroll to the top right corner of the screen and click "Screen Options". You can turn different configuration panels on or off.

When you create a View, the option you choose in the popup determines which configuration panels are shown in the View editor. "Full custom display mode" will show all the available configuration panels.

Problem: I have a taxonomy filter that is shown using checkboxes. I would like to display those filters in several columns instead of one long list.

Solution:
Here's an example of adding a CSS class to a div wrapping the taxonomy shortcode:

<div class="form-group">
<label>[wpml-string context="wpv-views"]Nationality[/wpml-string]</label>
<div class="four-columns">
  [wpv-control-post-taxonomy taxonomy="nationality" type="checkboxes" format="%%NAME%%" orderby="none" url_param="wpv-nationality"]
</div>
</div>

Then you would add this code to the CSS panel below your View's Search and Pagination editor:

four-columns {
  -webkit-column-count: 4; /* Chrome, Safari, Opera */
  -moz-column-count: 4; /* Firefox */
  column-count: 4;
}
