UC Sort Search Results [C IG]
Motivation
When searching for items or collections, we want to get the results sorted based on different criteria for the metadata fields. This can be done by adding the sort
element to our search document
Example
Doing a search for items
PUT /item
We can in our search document specify which fields we want the result to be sorted on
<ItemSearchDocument xmlns="http://xml.vidispine.com/schema/vidispine">
<sort>
<field>durationSeconds</field>
<order>descending</order>
</sort>
<sort>
<field>originalFormat</field>
<order>ascending</order>
</sort>
</ItemSearchDocument>
Results will be sorted in the order that they are given so in this case we first sort on the field durationSeconds
in descending order and then on originalFormat
in ascending order.
By setting the element caseSensitiveSorting
to false for a metadata-field the values of that field can be sorted in a case-insensitive order.
