I don't want to use robots.txt for this. Any PHP code or any .http access lines will work like a charm. Now I show you what types of urls I want to eradicate.

https://www.example.com/search-gadgets/?filters=ram.3-gb

Here is a robots.txt code I'm using to block such urls.

Disallow: /*sort=
Disallow: /*filters=

But the thing is Robots.txt doesn't implement Noindex tags, as it just blocks the urls from being crawled.

If you want to use htaccess, you can use the http header X-Robots-Tag: noindex to accomplish what you need for the specific files you need, or with a pattern.

You can also provide other instructions, such as noarchive, nofollow, or even be specific for a particular crawler, for example Googlebot: 

X-Robots-Tag: googlebot: nofollow
X-Robots-Tag: otherbot: noindex, nofollow
