Hi,
in Proprieties Filter you can display layers that has one or more properties such as we want to filter layers that begin with a certain letters(*Arch*) and in freeze status and have hidden linetype.by using wildcard AutoCAD automatically add these layers to the filter even you create new layer that match the previous specs.Now the standard filter you should make it manually adding layers as your need (drag and drop) .
you have to be patient and try to learn ir in a new CAD drawing with 10 layers and either you can read more here >> Link << OR >> Link 1 <<.
I hope success for your mission..
