# X_ADMIN_FILTER_INVALID

## Means

an admin list was asked for a filter, sort or scope its resource does not derive

## Typical cause

the list URL carried a parameter other than `cursor`, `sort`, `scope` or `f.*`; a `sort` on a field that is not sortable or a direction other than `asc`/`desc`; a `scope` the resource does not declare; or an `f.<field>.<op>` the field's shape does not offer — a sealed column offers none. Refused (400), never ignored: an ignored filter is a list that answers rows the reader thinks were excluded

## Fix

`x manifest --json` — `admin[].resources` lists the filters, sorts and scopes of the entity the cause names
