SPO Views - Filter Pane - How it is working?
I assume you use the classic mode for the document library as you still use Metadata navigation. Is it possible for you to use the modern experience for the library? This way you could use the new Filter Pane and pin the columns to filter on top.

Thanks Schouten. I have configured the Meta Data Navigation since the Filter Pane doesn't show up for certain views. We are using Modern Experience only. The filter pane always doesn't show up.

Ok great you are using the Modern Experience! Can you ensure the columns you filter on are indexed?
Miceile Barrett as program manager on the Filter pane. Can you shine a light on this?

Thanks Schouten. The filter I am using is on the "Name" column and this is not available for indexing.
I have another Document library with 7000 items and there the view works perfectly and the filter shows me the older dates (with check boxes) to select even though the warning message appears (that list has more than 5000 items)
Looking at those two document libraries, they all appear same.
