Custom sorting doesn't work for search results in Share

[webdesigner]

Hello,

I have a search configuration for my custom type to allow sorting of search results using the custom metadata properties.

Here my configuration in share-config-custom.xml

<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="Search">
<sorting>
<sort labelId="label.propert.one">my:customPropOne</sort>
<sort labelId="label.propert.two">my:customPropTwo</sort>
</sorting>
</config>

The properties are displayed properly, but if I try to use them for sort (Click to the property name in the "sort by" drop down of the search result dialog), empty list has been displayed and I see no errors in log.


Is it a bug or what I' doing wrong?

Thanks in advance
Best regards
Vitali

Hi

What version of Alfrecso are you using?

SOLR sorting was not recognising the prefix form for sorting.
It could be this?

Hi,

I'm using Alfresco 4.0 and I can search everywhere for my custom metadata (Node-Browser, Search queries over searchService - API etc.)

These properties are also displayed in Details and Document libraries (my custom metadata-templates configuration)

The sorting of the search results seems to be buggy even with standard properties.

For example:
- I search for documents and find 2 results
- I sort for "size" and refreshed dialog contain only one document (not two!)

And as I said, it doesn't work with custom metadata.

>>SOLR sorting was not recognising the prefix form for sorting.

Do I need an extra configuration for my custom model in SOLR to get it working? What should I do exactly?

Best regards

Hello,

I have the same problem while sorting with custom metadata properties. I receive an empty list.

In my stderr log I have this (I take Vitali's exemple):

17 juil. 2012 16:51:46 org.apache.solr.common.SolrException log
GRAVE: java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Ordering not supported for @{http://www.mytype.com/model/content/1.0}customPropOne
   at org.alfresco.solr.AlfrescoSolrDataModel.getSortField(AlfrescoSolrDataModel.java:1100)
   at org.alfresco.solr.AlfrescoDataType.getSortField(AlfrescoDataType.java:106)
        …

We can see Share has transfered my: to {http://www.mytype.com/model/content/1.0}, so can I consider that SOLR sorting has recognised the prefix form for sorting ?

Does anyone know what is the problem?
Vitali, have you soloved your case?

Thanks in advance.
