Filter Array of Editor Elements

I am wanting to hide or show buttons and text depending on an input and would like to filter the buttons to hide them or show them. I am not sure if this is possible or I am making a simple error with the notation:

export function TitleClick(title) { let button = "#"+title+"Ascend" console.log(button) let sortButtons = $w("#mTypeAscend, #mTypeDescend, #waiversDescend, #waiversAscend, #dateJoinedAscend, #dateJoinedDescend, #nameAscend, #nameDescend, #lastNameAscend, #lastNameDescend") let hideButtons = sortButtons.filter(item => item != '"$w('+button+')"'); console.log(hideButtons) hideButtons.forEach(element => { element.hide() }); $w("#"+title+"Ascend").show() }

I have attempted several different ways and the hideButtons array always includes the filtered item.

Thanks
