Creating a filterable portfolio

Hi folks,

I wondered how you might approach a requirement to make a portfolio of work filterable by mutliple selectors.

Something along the lines of: http://www.pentagram.com/work/#/all/all/newest/

The items are listed according to what categories are choose in the three drop-down menus at the top of the page. You can use any combination and the results are then filtered depending on what you set as your criteria.

I'm going to add categories/check boxes to each published item/node in the content admin. I was thinking that using a querystring would probably work.

But then I saw the above site and it looks like the selectors are changing the path URL.

I'd prefer to do something like this if I can as I feel it might be better for SEO.

But the mechanics have got my brain spinning... !

Is anyone able to give me any pointers? I'm still wondering how it might work that way?

Any advice gratefully received,
Barney
