Hi Paul,

I might have misunderstood what you are after but as the result yielded is an IEnumerable you could use Linq and OrderBy(x => x.StartPublishDate) or OrderByDescending(x => x.StartPublishDate) on the final collection.

Hi Gustav,

In Lucence there is the ability to use a sortfield when querying for data.

Is there a way to use this in Episerver Search?

I presume we need to write our own implementation to handle this possibly?

Thanks

Paul

If I am not wrong, you are willing to pass a sort property name in your search to get results sorted on basis of this sort property, right?

Example of function:

Sort property type

Implementation of OrderByDescending

Search is based on lucene but I dont think that PublishedStartDate is indexed by default. Dejan Caric has written a nice blogpost about extending the index to add a new property (such as publish date) and querying for it. https://www.dcaric.com/blog/extending-episerver-search-part-2

I hope this helps!

Thanks for the help guys.

Praful thanks for the info, though I think that solution works with Episerver Find, where we are dealing with Episerver Search.

Gustav that looks to be what we are looking for, i suppose we have to use lucence.net api rather than the Episerver Search Api's to query the index.

Thanks

Paul
