Problem to Solve

Hi, I’ve created a custom post type with custom fields and I’m using a Pods template to display it in tabular format. This works perfectly, now I would like to be able to filter the results to show, for example I would like to show only posts that have the title starting with the letter A. I have found some code that can do this, example: https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/298888/wp-query-where-title-begins-with-a-specific-letter but I would like to understand how I can adapt this to use it within the Pods plugin ?. Can I write PHP code inside the Pods template editor or do I need to create an archive{custom post type}.php? If you can, could you give me an example…

Proposed Solution

it would be useful to be able to add PHP code in the Pods template editor or have a standard php file for example in the Pods site that you can copy to create an archive(custom_pos_type).php and single.php with an example for all the Pods functions and to view the various values ​​of the custom fields. A kind of guide with demo file to make it easier even if you have less experts (like me )

@sc0ttkclark The Pods search query isn't searching through metadata. Not sure how this works exactly as I believe it's quite old code but here are some references:
