Hi again, I am totally spamming you with all of my questions, aren't I

But it is because I just love this component.
Ok, my questions are:
1) By default the Filter options are an Author field and a Title field. Is it possible to change these? And by that I don't mean just to change the words in table view, but change the exact filter options.
2) Is it possible to remove the Filter options totally? I have menu items for each category I've created, and I am thinking of not having the Filter option in all of them.
Thanks in advance!
