Tell us what you are trying to do? A page on my site (hidden link) has is a listing of Student Works (a custom post type). What I'd like to do is provide a couple of different kinds of filters on the front-end. Please refer to front-end-filters.png for a mockup of the design illustrating the filters. Can someone tell me where to begin? Might this be a good subject to discuss via a Google Hangout?
Is there any documentation that you are following? No.
Is there a similar example that we can see? See attached.
What is the link to your site? I'd like to put front-end filters on a page like this one: hidden link
Hello,
I suggest you begin with our document:

In my opinion, you can to try these:
1) The filter "All Thesis Project", you can setup it as custom taxonomy, for example "Work category"
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/create-custom-taxonomies/
2) Filter "Author", if I am right, it is another post types, with one to many relationship with "Students", then you just need to add a relationship filter in the search form, see screenshot relationship-filter.JPG
3) Filter "Keywords", it should be a input box, see above document, section "Adding text-search for custom fields"
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/front-page-filters/#2-5-adding-text-search-for-custom-fields
4) Sort by "", yes, it is another built-in feature of Views plugin, see document:
