Adding column filter for bootstrap table

I am wondering if there is an easy way to add the simple filter options (similar to excel with multiselect option) for each column in a bootstrap table.

I have searched enough on google, but couldn't find a single answer for same.

When a user will click this filter icon, a dropdown should appear which multiselect option.

Can anyone give me some pointers on this.

Here is my sample plunkr. Please let me know if anyone need any more information.

<td class="no-wrap-text">Status
                &nbsp;<a href="">
                <i class="fa fa-filter dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown"></i></a>
                </td>
                <td>Severity&nbsp;
  </td>
