Filtering a Repeater Field on Output

[SoccerGuy3]

Is it possible to filter the output of a Repeater Field? Been playing around with different Repeater Fields on two different sites today. On one site I would like to output three entries at random from a bank of like 15 entries. On the other I would like to output only those events that have not happened yet (based on a date field in the repeater).

Currently using this code for the first example:

foreach($page->testimonials as $testi) {
    echo "<li>";
    echo "<h3>{$testi->testi_name}</h3>";
    echo $testi->testi_body;
    echo "</li>";
}

Create two selectors and apply them as needed, like this (untested):

if(...) {
    $selector = 'limit=3, sort=random';
} else {
    $selector = 'date_field < today';
}

foreach($page->testimonials->find($selector) as $testi) {
...
}
