Sorry for the delayed response, this weekend has been pretty hectic for me. So, is the next step in this process actually getting a working item display page?

Pretty much. Otherwise i can just sort of hash out the same "algorithm" that i gave you in my first post with a couple of extra steps for filtering.

Ah, another question that I had:

If an item has multiple sizes, how will that be possible?

<li brand="bauer" color="black" size="5 6 7 8 9 10 11">

Unless you list out each size individually, rather than grouping them into a single line-item like that, then you won't be able to sort by size. You can still make a filter that would match though, and the example you have there would work perfectly for that.

I still don't think I've fully grasped the difference between sorting and filtering, but fair enough. I like how Zappo's does it, on that front. http://www.zappos.co...hletic-shoes~cB

On the left navigation bar, below theme, color, and brand, they have size. You click on a size and it (filters/sorts) the results, displaying only shoes that are designated size.

Yep we could do that. If you don't understand the difference between sorting and filtering, you really should go back and re-read my example. If it still doesn't make sense, then consider this: It would sound really strange to tell somebody to pick up their cigarette sorter after they flick the butt of their cigarette on to the ground. That's because it's not a sorter, it's a filter, it removes stuff from the smoke before you inhale it.
