V1 · Flat text links
Same typographic weight as the nav pills. Separated by a thin divider. Cleanest match.
Choose variations · Sticky bar buttons
Mock-up of the sticky sub-nav bar. Goal: make Filter + Sort feel like they belong next to the text-pill navigation instead of standing out as heavy UI pills. Pick one.
V2 · Icon-only (funnel + arrows)
Compact circular icon buttons. Less text, more compact — relies on familiar iconography.
V3 · Ghost pill (subtle)
Smaller pills, transparent bg with hairline border, same font size as the nav pills.
V4 · Text + caret, no border
Like V1 but each has a small caret icon, closer to Apple nav patterns. No divider.
V5 · Segmented control
Filter and Sort share one rounded container, divided by a hairline. Reads as one unit.
V6 · Icon + label
Small icon prefix + label, no bg. Clear affordance without the pill chrome.
