Index type plugin

[Ryan]

I need to create something similar to what is displayed on the following page, with links to pages with specific information about individual items:
http://www.medallionlabs.com/TestLibrary/Default.aspx

I'd like to use an off the shelf plugin if possible to save custom building something. Any ideas on a suitable plugin?

Or will I need to resort to creating a custom post-type and doing it all the hard way? I'm wary of custom building it all as the client may wish to switch to a different theme and as much as I'd like to lock them into using my own code, and presumably needing to hire me again if they need improvements, I'd rather make things a little more flexible for them by using something which is actively developed and improved. I'm sure something exists out there for doing this, but I don't know of anything myself. Hopefully one of you has used or heard about something which is suitable for this task.

Aint that just simple retrive and display code?
Get pages by some criteria, sort by title, display links?
And a basic shortcode to place the list on a page.

I was thinking they'd be better off as a custom post-type since they're not regular content, but information sheets instead.

On thinking about this some more though, that may be the easiest way to do it. Just create a page called "test library" and anything that's a sub-page would be loaded with a different template, and I can have a short code on the actual "test library" page to load the index system.

I guess I was trying to over-complicate something fairly simple.

There a few different page templates posted on this thread if you're still looking for a solution
