How To? Get Resources based on user filtering

I have a landing page (ie case studies or knowledge base) which will aggregate child resources. On said landing page, user has the a series of checkboxes to choose from for filtering the returned children. Also, the user can sort by: Newest->Oldest or Oldest -> Newest or "Featured"

What's the optimal way to build this out?

Summary
* By default the page displays all children
* User chooses filters (checkboxes) -> clicks apply filters
* Page reloads with children tagged with that filter

Alternatively - would something like this be possible using AdvSearch snippet, maybe?

Hi Sal,

It sounds like ultimately the best tool to use to filter your resources will depend on the parameters they are being filtered against. I kind of doubt AdvSearch would be necessary for just child resources because it is more used to search across an entire site.

I wonder if getResources or a simple Snippet with some xPDO would do the trick.

I would go with getResources https://rtfm.modx.com/extras/revo/getresources

You can filter results with 'tvfilters' and use the 'sortby' parameter for direction of results.
