Hi
I am customizing webcontent search portlet to search for articles using keywords
such that it can search for title/content/author and display folloing 3 columns in results
Title , Author , Display Date
this works.
I am able to sort on Title column asc/desc using following piece of code that i put in journal_content_search/rsearch.jsp
However I am unable to sort on "Display Date" Column.
see the below code . I am using DocumentComparator that works fine for Title sorting but fails for display tag
DocumentComparator orderByComparator=new DocumentComparator();;
boolean ascending = true;
if (orderByType.equals("desc")) {
ascending = false;
}
orderByComparator.addOrderBy(orderByCol,ascending);
and then
Hits results = indexer.search(searchContext);
List resultList=results.toList();
resultList = ListUtil.sort(resultList, orderByComparator);
why it doesn't work for display date column when looking at DocumentComparator code it looks it can sort on any column?
I also tried other option of using Sort in searchContext
Sort sort=new Sort("title", true);
Sort[] arrSort=new Sort[]{sort};
searchContext.setSorts(arrSort)
Hits results = indexer.search(searchContext);
but this didnt sort at all on any column.
Let me know if i am doing something wrong in any of the 2 methods above.
Please assist.
Thanks
