Reviews

I'm trying to put together a website for a game reviewer. I've got most of the basics already covered but he wants the main review page to be able to list all the current reviews and be sortable by the user in varying orders (date written, subject, written by, etc...)
Is this something I can accomplish using tags to generate this type of page?
I'd rather not update this ToC page everytime a new review is added to the system...
current menu system is
-Reviews
--#
--A
--- review of aeroplanes
--- review of apples
--- etc...
--B
-- etc... (first letter of subject)
--z
the top and second level menu items are set as seperators (so they don't go anywhere) but it sounds like he wants each of these seprators to be pages on their own and list every item below them as a link (with some description text)
-Reviews
would list all reviews and be sortable by different columns
--# (through Z) would list all reviews starting with that letter and also be sortable as above
I like the idea of the reviews being on the third level of the menu but he wants the lists (he's coming from a hand coded HTML background)
So, is there any easy way to search the database and create these pages using PHP/SQL i.e. use the parentID of each page as a sort parameter? Would it break down on the "Review" top level menu because the reviews are children of the "Review" menu item's children?
