The views module would do that for you: Views and Views UI together for the 
editing interface at Admin > Site building > Views. There are several good 
tutorials for the views module on drupal.org so I won't repeat here.

Each view can support requests to a particular URL by enabling its Page 
mode: so you can register a view to handle a request to 
mysite.example.com/views_of_my_nodes/most_recent_sandwiches , or whatever. 
There's no real restriction on the syntax.

Cheers,
