You should be able to do this with Views, you can create sorting options and filters for content.

Hope that helps,

how does views accomplish this does it create a pulldown in the middle of the content for the user to be able to use?

Views!

you know how when you click on the views in the navigator, and you have some pull down filters that can help define the views you create, how can i create such an option on a separate page. and would i use taxomony too???

Got it.....but still

ok well i figured that out but the problem i am running into now is that whenever i select a filter to use for taxomony terms i cant get it to be a pull down menu, instead its a scroll box with a list, i would like it to be pull down. any ideas?

more info

I played around with the the filter in the views some more and i realized that anything over 1 variable causes the pulldown not to work. Is this a bug???
