Wordpress archive sorting and element selecting

Hi guys!

Im working on my archive pages and created two nice display options (tile and list view) using javascript Now, in list view, I would like the user to be able to sort the posts by:

1 kitname (retrieved with advanced custom field's 'get_field' php code)

2 scale (retrieved with custom taxonomy:

<?php $terms = get_the_terms( $post->ID , 'scales' ); foreach ( $terms as $term ) { echo $term->name; } ?>

3 manufacturer (retrieved with custom taxonomy:

<?php $terms = get_the_terms( $post->ID , 'manufacturers' ); foreach ( $terms as $term ) { echo $term->name; } ?>

4 country (retrieved with custom taxonomy:

<?php $terms = get_the_terms( $post->ID , 'countries' ); foreach ( $terms as $term ) { echo $term->name; } ?>

5 post date (retrieved with

<?php echo the_time('F j, Y');?>

I will add buttons to the table header (the list view is basically a table) for the users to sort ascending and descending.

Where do I start? I have really no idea and there's not much to find on the internet either...

Thanks!
