Hi All,Currently Advanced Search result is being sorted based on Relevance by default. Now, I want it to change with Modified Date. How can I achieve this?Thanks,Yash

Changing the order in share config should work. I have not tested so not completely sure.

Default:

<config evaluator='string-compare' condition='Search'>
      <search>
      <sorting>
         <sort labelId='search.sort.relevance'></sort>
         <sort labelId='label.name'>cm:name</sort>
         <sort labelId='label.title'>cm:title</sort>
         <sort labelId='label.description'>cm:description</sort>
         <sort labelId='label.author'>cm:author</sort>
         <sort labelId='label.modifier'>cm:modifier</sort>
         <sort labelId='label.modified'>cm:modified|false</sort>
         <sort labelId='label.creator'>cm:creator</sort>
         <sort labelId='label.created'>cm:created|false</sort>
         <sort labelId='search.sort.size'>.size|true</sort>
         <sort labelId='search.sort.mimetype'>.mimetype</sort>
         <sort labelId='search.sort.type'>TYPE</sort>
      </sorting>
   </config>


Try changing to:

<!-- The 'sort' config element contains the name of the content model 
Field to sort against and can be of the form: . 
Short QName string e.g. "cm:name". 
Pseudo cm:content field starting with a "." e.g. ".size". 
Any other valid sortable fts-alfresco special field e.g. "TYPE".
The field can be optionally followed by |true or |false to indicate sort direction, 
where true = ascending, false = descending.
The element supports the following optional attributes: 
label = label text to display 
labelId = I18N message id of label text to display
isSortable = true or false for if the field contains sortable data -->

<config evaluator='string-compare' condition='Search'>
      <search>
      <sorting>
         <sort labelId='label.modified'>cm:modified|false</sort>
         <sort labelId='search.sort.relevance'></sort>
         <sort labelId='label.name'>cm:name</sort>
         <sort labelId='label.title'>cm:title</sort>
         <sort labelId='label.description'>cm:description</sort>
         <sort labelId='label.author'>cm:author</sort>
         <sort labelId='label.modifier'>cm:modifier</sort>
         <sort labelId='label.creator'>cm:creator</sort>
         <sort labelId='label.created'>cm:created|false</sort>
         <sort labelId='search.sort.size'>.size|true</sort>
         <sort labelId='search.sort.mimetype'>.mimetype</sort>
         <sort labelId='search.sort.type'>TYPE</sort>
      </sorting>
   </config>

It works with a couple of little changes in the xml.

<config replace="true" evaluator='string-compare' condition='Search'>
      <sorting>
         <sort labelId='label.modified'>cm:modified|false</sort>
         <sort labelId='search.sort.relevance'></sort>
         <sort labelId='label.name'>cm:name</sort>
         <sort labelId='label.title'>cm:title</sort>
         <sort labelId='label.description'>cm:description</sort>
         <sort labelId='label.author'>cm:author</sort>
         <sort labelId='label.modifier'>cm:modifier</sort>
         <sort labelId='label.creator'>cm:creator</sort>
         <sort labelId='label.created'>cm:created|false</sort>
         <sort labelId='search.sort.size'>.size|true</sort>
         <sort labelId='search.sort.mimetype'>.mimetype</sort>
         <sort labelId='search.sort.type'>TYPE</sort>
      </sorting>
</config>
