Add sort by/ order to query loop options on front end

Can you please add a component to allow front end sorting/ ordering of query loops

The order by, post per page, and order are all common things found on most archive type pages, but as of now, I see no method of adjusting those by front end users.

If the Asc/ desc option could have default toggles or an option to add icons that would help many.

The order by section should have the default name, date, and perhaps taxonomy/ author, as well as customizable options such as comment or like count.

A basic search function within the queried items would also be handy. The default search element does not have an option to define what is being searched and takes people to a different page opposed to simply filtering within the query.

Also how would I create a loop or terms to populate the other categories in a select box?

Theres also no way to center the go button in line with the other form elements, or better yet, have an AJAX response.
