Question about SEO and sorting result lists

[fixxation]

Hi,

I'm in the process of making a site, which returns a list of results that are spread across a few pages. I know already that I should avoid the querystring vars, and try to make each page look as different as possible with regards to the actual URL for each different page, and of course the title tags and content.

I want to allow the users to click on the column headings to be able to sort the list differently, depending on how they want to see their list-- but if I do this with links (querystring), will the search engines look at this as a bad thing because it may be the same content and just in a different order? If this is the case I'm thinking a javascript post back may be a better idea... just want to make sure I'm doing what's best for not getting scored negatively with any of the search engines...

Thanks in advance,
A.

You can use rel=nofollow attribute for the sorting links.

Just leave the default content to be crawlable.

Thanks.
