Sorting Ultra Search results

I am in the process of researching Ultra Search and I am planning on building search functionality using the Ultra Search tag library. Part of the requirement of this search is that the search results need to be sorted alphabetically on a particular attribute. Is this possible with Ultra Search? If so, how can it be done? Or are the results always returned sorted based on the relevance score?
Any help would be appreciated.

Converting an Ultra Search result to a ColdFusion query

Hello,
I'm trying to convert an Ultra Search result into a ColdFusion query.
There's a java class for CF which turns a java result into a CF query, coldfusion.sql.QueryTable(java.sql.ResultSet), but is there anything which will convert an Ultra Search result to a java result or a CF query?
Thanks.

You can't cast from a character to a String. That doesn't work.
However, in a fit of being helpful.
Look at the constructors for the String object in the API
Link ===> http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/lang/String.html#String(char[])
char[] charA = {'H', 'E', 'L', 'L', 'O', ' ', 'W', 'O', 'R', 'L', 'D' } ;
String a = new String(charA) ;
System.out.println(a) ;There's a price for my help, and it's this. Now that you understand what you can do, is it a good idea or a bad idea and why ???
Explain.

Sorting people search results

Hi
We tried to sort the PeopleSearch Results by LastName and then by FirstName using the Query Designer.
In the preview everything works fine, buth when we save the web part settings and do a seearch on the people results page, the results are not sorted as excpected.
Query Sorting, (sorting as expected in preview)
People results page using the settings above:
Not properly sorted
Does anybody have an idea?
Thanks,
Stephan

Wow! I was able to reproduce your problem. There seems to be no way to get the sorting to work correctly in the search results. I have been able to sort the results correctly using either a) Content by Search part or b) an App issuing a query through
the API.
I think you are going to have to replace the OOB people search page with a custom solution based on either the Content by Search part or an app.
I have an Employee Directory app available on my CodePlex project here.

T/X model SORTing Find/Search results from Most Current Entry

Have the Palm T/X model, and use the FIND/search function constantly.
The results always come up from the earliest (oldest) entry to the most current.
This is a major league pain-in-the-butt especially when there are tons of entries to go thru to get to the most current date.
Is there any way to sort the FIND results so that they show from most Recent entry to the oldest.
This would be a HUGE Help.
Thx!

There is a pulsing, reddish dot in the middle of the
blue light but on the hard drive itself, I don't see
any "lights" in any "menu bar".
It's at blue circle with a white Q-shaped symbol at the right end of your menu bar.
If you dare to use the terminal application (can be found in the utilities folder) you can use the following command to re-index that drive. Start Terminal and type (or paste) the following line and hit enter:
sudo mdutil -E "/Volumes/xxx/"
Replace "xxx" with the name of Your drive! If there is a space in that name type it like "/Volumes/My\ Drive/"! You will be prompted for Your admin password to proceed.

How to sort podcast search results in iTunes11?

After searching for podcasts I was able to sort them by video or audio. In iTunes11 I cannot find this option.
Is it gone?

Carolyn,
it was a typo: i'm on 10.6, on a MacPro.
i've actually found that it's actually, incredibly, impossible to sort spotlight results by size when in list view (it is possible when in icon view).
I find this nothing short than absurd, i would appreciate if Apple could explain me:
1- Why are they publicly talking about this wonderful new feature in their Snow Leopard pages, thus implcitily admitting that is something useful, and not making it useful where it would be used most: list view of the finder.
2- How am i supposed, for example, to find out between thousands of files which ones are, say, above 10MB, which is a typical task one would do when cleaning up space.
The answer is that i will simply have to use Houdaspot because the "most advanced operating system" does not let me know how big my files are.
Im really ****** off.

Change sort order search results?

When I search in Mountain Lion I get a list of results, for instance documents that contain the word "serial"
see the attached screenshot.
The searchresults are ordered by name.
Only problem is the last result (starting with a Z) comes first.
I want the results starting with an A to show first.
In Lion you could reverse the sort order by clicking in the top bar (which says "Name" or "Naam" in my screenshot) but here that does not work.
What am I missing?
Thanks

Change the item arrangement to 'None'
And then you'll be able to reverse the sort order

Is it so difficult for Sun to sort search result and duke stars ?

In the years that I have been visiting these forums I have frequently (well every year at least) asked Sun to sort the search results by reverse date. In the last few months I have asked Sun to sort the new format of the results of "My Duke Stars". Is is so difficult to add a 'order by' clause to the SQL or am I missing something?

DrClap wrote:
It would be nice if they could do that, and I asked them too several months ago. It would also be nice if they told you how many points you got for an answer (not how many points were originally attached to the thread) and the date and time you got them (not the original date and time of the thread). But those changes might take more than just an ORDER BY clause. (Or they might be implemented by just choosing the right columns from joined tables, who knows?)They seem to have all the functionality already there, it's just spread out across two pages when it should be all on one.

Is it possible to sort search results

Is there a way to setup the order of the search results
during the project build process? Currently in my manual when a
user searches for an item, the results come up in alpha order. If
possible I would prefer to display them in order of relevance. Any
ideas?

I see. It sort of, partly, does what I want. It seems like you can limit the search to one of the "places" that show up on the left side of Finder. So on my Mac I can choose to limit the search to Desktop, mitch, Applications, or Documents in my case (my username is mitch).
That's an improvement, but can I limit the search to subdirectory mitch/dir1/dir2? That's what I would really like.
of course. as I told you open mitch/dir1/dir2 in finder and start the search from there. the search will default to searching the whole mac but in the search toolbar you can switch to searching just this directory. and if you want you can save the result as a smart search and put in the the sideebar for quick access if you do this particular search often.
Or can I sort the search results by where they are in subdirectories?
no, you can't do that.
Thanks.

Sorting search results by rank

Hi,
Is it possible to sort the search results by rank in RH8 html help ? It works when I click on Title but not when Rank is clicked. What I mean is changing from ascending to descending order.
Thanks,

Which version of content server do you have? In 7.x you can install a custom component named MultiSort, and in 10gR3 this is built in.
Basically you need to use a parameter named SortSpec
example:
http://yourserver/instance/idcplg?<original query>&SortSpec=order%20by%20dDocType%20desc,%20dDocName%20asc
For more information visit: [http://www.corecontentonly.com/2008/08/13/MultiSortWith10gR3SortSpec.aspx|http://www.corecontentonly.com/2008/08/13/MultiSortWith10gR3SortSpec.aspx]

Search results sorting

hello ,
I would like to have a custom control that sort search results ( A to Z or Z to A ), so , i created a dropdownlist with two entry : A-Z et Z-A.
When user click A-Z , i would like that search results display in the right alphabetic order from A to Z.
How to accomplish my goal step by step ?
Thanks.

Hi Piing,
To sort the search results, you need to define the results to sort by which managed property.
As each result has many managed properties, I recommend to use Title managed property to sort the results.
If that is the case, then we need to write the sort dropdown like this:
[{"name":"A-Z","sorts":[{"p":"Title","d":0}]},{"name":"Z-A","sorts":[{"p":"Title","d":1}]}].
After that, we need to edit the search results page and then edit the Search Results web part, then expand Settings and check Show sort dropdown. After that paste the above JSON inside the box and save the changes back to SharePoint.
You can refer to the link below for details about how to write the JSON inside the sort dropdown:

Sort Search Results by Topics in Forums

Hi,
is it possible to sort the search results by topics? Because I often get a lot of hits from the same topic but in different rows.
Normally I click to a topic and browse the whole topic to look for my answer. If it is not answered it would be nice if you could skip this topic (it would be ok to have all hits of this topic one after the other) and don't find it again on place 47.
Regards, Juergen

To make this more generic. Is there any way to add columns to the search results. I would like to be able to sort by size as well.

Spotlight Search Results - Sort by Date Modified

Running 10.5.2 on a Mac Pro.
Is there a way to sort Spotlight search results by date modified?
Am I missing something really basic or is Apple kinda going insane?
I also don't like that I can't search my files by filename without also allowing Spotlight to index the contents of my hard drive. I don't want my content indexed.
Why does Apple use AES encryption for FileVault? It has an NSA backdoor...
And while I'm at it, I can't network with my PB180 running System 7.5.5 anymore (OSX 10.2 let me).
GRRR! I hate when progress gets senile.

Rants will get you nowhere on these forums except banned.
If you want to report this to Apple, send Feedback and send bug reports and enhancement requests via its Bug Reporter system. To do the latter, join the Apple Developer Connection (ADC)—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. Since you already have an Apple username/ID, use that. Once a member, go to Apple BugReporter and file your bug report/enhancement request. The nice thing with this procedure over submitting feedback is that you get a response and a follow-up number; thus, starting a dialog with engineering.

[Desktop][Music] sort search results

Please restore the ability to sort search results (by song title, artists, etc). I'm on the mac desktop app. Why did you ever remove this? I often search for covers, and want to isolate the song titles from others that show up by keyword.

Any news regarding this request will be announced in the original idea topic here:

How to sort web app items based on few fields of it on search result page?

I have a web app and its search. The search results are on multiple pages means it has pagination. My client's requirement is to have a feature which will sort results based on some web app items. for example we have a field price so when user select the price it needs to sort from high to low. Any one have idea how to do it?

I have just been playing around with this for something else, all you need to do is duplicate your price field into the weighting field and it will automatically sort from High to low for you.
Cheers
Duncan
