Searching with multiple sort keys in FreeMarker / Lucene

[rivarola]

Hello,

When running a Lucene query from a template one can specify a "sort_by" clause to sort the results. Is it possible to specify several sort keys instead of onen (for instance lastname and then firstname) ?

I'm not sure you can do that in a single op - you may have to call ?sort_by twice.

It might be worth requesting this feature on the FreeMarker dev list.

Thanks,

Kevin

Kevin,

So is there a way to sort by more than one field?  Because I was unable to do figure out a way.   I want to be able to sort by multiple properties of an object.  Could you provide a simple example of how a person would call sort_by twice in a list for freemarker??  Would that be the way to go, or you don't know for sure


Thanks

I've not tried to do it myself.

current.children?sort_by('type')?sort_by(['properties','cm:name'])
