Let’s say I’m in the last page of the following lineage: Automotive > Make > Nissan > GT-R. The page GT-R has all the contents tagged with GT-R. In this very page, is it possible to create a block that allows users to sort all the GT-R tagged contents by their respective authors, creation dates, relevance percentages, and titles? Just like what one would see in a faceted search but without the search results page. Moreover, I allow users to rate products via Fivestar CCK. Is it also possible to allow users to sort the content by ratings? I figure something like this could be done with Views but I’m not good with that module. A simpler approach would be to have a module that can do something like this but I have yet to find it. Thanks for any and all help.

You're right, the Views
You're right, the Views module really is the way to go for this - create a view for nodes, add filters for all the tags in Automotive > Make > Nissan > GT-R and THEN add filters for the features you want users to be able to sort by and as you do check the 'Exposed to user' checkbox that appears.
I don’t have a lot of
I don’t have a lot of experience with Views but I guess this is a good place to start. For the filters, I would first assign “Taxonomy: Term” then all the things I would allow users to sort such as authors, dates, titles, and ratings. After “Taxonomy: Term,” I would assign “Node: Post Date,” “Node: Title,” and “Content: Overall Rating - (field_business_rate).” The last is for the sort by ratings. Okay, so I might have the filters figured out but what about the Fields? If I don’t assign a field I will get the following message: “Display Defaults uses fields but there are none defined for it or all are excluded.” And lastly, are arguments or sort criteria required? Thanks.
building a automotive site?
hi azwildcat,
I'm looking for some help with my auto site and it looks like that is what you are working on, might be some opportunities for us to work together. Email me at stevemoretti AT condurre.com if you are interested in connecting....thanks...
Not an automotive site, per
Not an automotive site, per se; a generalized review site.
The only module I can think
The only module I can think of that come close to creating such functionality is the Directory module. However, this module doesn’t isolate the terms—that’s what I’m looking for.
