[Resolved] Results filtered in columns

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem: I have a View that shows results from two post types. I would like to show the results in two different columns, organized by post type.

Solution: Since there is no post type filter in Views, the best solution is to use two separate Views.
- View 1 will show Houses, and View 2 will show Apartments.
- The two Views should use exactly the same filters, including the same URL parameters. The easiest way to make sure is to create View 1 first, get it working right, then Duplicate View 1, change the post type, and save it as View 2.
- In the Loop Output editor, build the list of results in a single column.
- Insert View 1 showing both the filters and results, and insert View 2 after that, showing only results.
- Use CSS to move the two Views into columns.

Hello,

I would like to filter the results in 2 columns (See picture enclosed), after a search 2 different columns will show the results .

I tried this (type="1" ) shortcode attribute, but it doesn't work.

Do you have an ideas ?

<div class="row">
[wpv-item index=1]
<div class="col-sm-6">[wpv-post-body view_template="Annuaire" type="1" ]</div>
[wpv-item index=2]
<div class="col-sm-6">[wpv-post-body view_template="Annuaire" type="2"]</div>
</div>

Thanks for your help

Let me know if you have questions about this and I can give you some more details.
