What is the sort field name for sorting on content size?

[dgildeh]

Hi,

I've got sorting happening on all the fields I want apart from file size. I'm using the sort column below:

@{http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}content.size

However, this is throwing an exception everytime it is set. According to the documentation I should be able to sort on the file size, my question is what is the correct field name to use to do this?

Thanks,

David

Hi David,

Did you find a solution for this issue yet?
I am facing the same problem.  When I try to sort the result based on content size, I don't get any result.
However for "{http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}name" , "{http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}created" I do get results

Following is the piece of code that I am using on the Java End.

 private NodeRef[] queryChildren(NodeRef parent, CMISTypesFilterEnum typesFilter, String sortBy, boolean order)
    {
        SearchParameters params = new SearchParameters();
        params.setLanguage(SearchService.LANGUAGE_LUCENE);
        params.addStore(parent.getStoreRef());
        QueryParameterDefinition parentDef = new QueryParameterDefImpl(PARAM_PARENT, nodeRefDataType, true, parent.toString());
        params.addQueryParameterDefinition(parentDef);
        QName sortField = QName.createQName(NamespaceService.CONTENT_MODEL_1_0_URI, sortBy);
   params.addSort("@" + sortField, order);

        if (typesFilter == CMISTypesFilterEnum.FOLDERS)
        {
            params.setQuery(LUCENE_QUERY_SHALLOW_FOLDERS);
        }
        else if (typesFilter == CMISTypesFilterEnum.DOCUMENTS)
        {
            params.setQuery(LUCENE_QUERY_SHALLOW_FILES);
        }

        ResultSet resultSet = null;
        try
        {
            resultSet = searchService.query(params);
            List<NodeRef> results = resultSet.getNodeRefs();
            NodeRef[] nodeRefs = new NodeRef[results.size()];
            return results.toArray(nodeRefs);
        }
        finally
        {
            if (resultSet != null) resultSet.close();
        }
    }

In the above code sortField ends up as "{http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}content.size"  when I pass sortBy parameter as content.size
I dont get any results for content.size.

Please let me know if you have found something for content.size issue.

I am running alfresco version Alfresco 3.0. However for this piece I have used some code from later versions.

Hi Arun,

Unfortunately I haven't had any reply to this in the forum so I've had to give up on it. If anyone knows the solution please let us know.

Thanks,

Can anyone from Alfresco team let me know how I can track files/code that was changes for a given issue. In this case ALF-3776.
I am running Alfresco 3.0. So, would like to update my server with this change.

Thanks.

Hi

Yes this bug fix will address the issue. The fix was made in 3.4.1 and so has not made it into a community version yet.
