[opencms-dev] Solr sorting issue

[Stephan Hartmann]

Hi Thorsten,
I missed that with your priority sort field.
Do you just want to give your higher prioritized elements some kind of a
boolean boost, i.e. a checkbox, so that all elements marked with the
checkbox come first, ordered by their title and then all elements without
this checkbox checked, again ordered by their title, or do you want to
completely adjust the order of the higher prioritized elements?
For the first case, map your boolean value to a field named
"priority_sort_b" or so, *_b is mapped as dynamic field of type boolean.
For the second case, try to map your integer value to a field of type sint
(sortable int). There is no dynamic field definition for that type, so you
have to create your own field definition like for your sort title.
In either case, you can sort in solr by multiple fields. First take your
priority sort field, then your title field, e.g. "sort=priority_sort_b asc,
sorttitle_de_s asc".
Both types, boolean and sint, are defined to sort empty values at the end,
so you should be fine with this default setting.

HTH,
Stephan
