Click on one or more facet values to filter search results and view only those records containing these facet values.
3.3 Sorting
By default, the search results are sorted by Title (A-Z)
The sorting options are:
Title (A-Z) : sorts the results in the ascending order (starts with 'a') of the title field value. This the default sorting order.
Title (Z-A) :sorts the results in the descending order (starts with 'z') of the title field value.
Author (A-Z) :sorts the results in the ascending order (starts with 'a') of the author field value.
Author (Z-A) : sorts the results in the descending order (starts with 'a') of the author field value.
Pub date(new-old) : sorts the results in the ascending order of the publication date field value.
Pub date(old-new) : sorts the results in the descending order of the publication date field value.
Relevance : it is default sort criteria provided by solr.
Records with empty or null values will appear at the top of the search results.
Solr-specific sorting features:
- If the data contains more than one space then it should be treated as a single space
- All data beginning with a numeral should be arranged ahead of any data beginning with a letter.
- Data consisting of a single word precedes any data beginning with the same word and followed by other words.
- Data beginning with Articles (a,an and the) are displayed in ascending order.
- Numbers at beginning or within the data should arranged in arithmetical order and sorted in ascending order.
- Punctuation in numbers, as in other text, has no arrangement value (and sorted in ascending order).
- Decimal fractions should be arranged according to their arithmetical value (and sorted in ascending order).
