Creating a Sortable resources list

Hi

I'm using getresources to list a bunch of products in order of creation date. All fine.
But I want to add a way that users can change the sorting - ie if they want it alphabetical Asc, or by a tv etc.
I just wondered if anyone has a good way to achieve this.

Thanks
Andy

I use something like this

News
[[!getResources? &parents=`9` &limit=`3` &tpl=`newsTpl` &sortby=`createdon` &sortdir=`DESC` &includeTVs=`1`]]

Archive
[[!getResources? &parents=`9` &limit=`0` &tpl=`newsTpl` &sortby=`createdon` &sortdir=`DESC` &includeTVs=`1`]]

Thanks but this is just two separate getResources calls.
What I need is one call, with a select menu or something which allows the user to change the sorting. A bit like in eBay when you can sort the results by ending soon or by lowest price. All done on the fly.

I hope this makes more sense.

Thanks

creates an html form with select to sort choice.
using an extra (eg. getUrlParam) or your snippet to retrieve GET parameter
Use the value to customize the options getResource

Thanks for the pointer. I'm not really sure how to go about stitching all that together though.
