How to Filter for Kings and Prophets only in Advanced Timeline

Is this possible? Seems like a perfect use for the timeline, to see how the reigns and ministries align, but there seems no way I can find to filter for types of people e.g. “Monarchs” and “Prophets”.

The “People” filter contains a list of people in order of no. of occurrences which doesn’t help. I guess I could search this massive non-alphabetical list for the names of all the kings and prophets individually but this seems awfully convoluted.

I’m quite new to this tool so any help appreciated!

I’m using the iOS app btw.

    I think everyone's new to the tool and it's only been 15 years or so. During dreary nights, I wonder, in 2008, what exactly they were thinking, as they gave up 'Timelines' in favor of disorganized data dumps. What was the vision? But, Libby's not been forgotten:

    In case anyone else is looking to explore this, here's a refinement of the above.

    Search Query in the Find box is (reign AND (Israel OR Judah)) OR prophet NOT muhammad with the further Filtering of 1130-350BC and Event Type > Individual

    Please post below if you can refine further! Thanks to previous posters for suggestions.

    This is crying out for a way to colour things differently, as with regular search results, but it's a lot better than nothing.
