The method to use to order the query results. By default, HPE Content Component displays results in order of relevance. If several documents have the same relevance, HPE Content Component orders them by the autn:docid
(document ID) number.
You can use one of the following sorting options:
Off
. Do not sort documents.
AutnRank
. Sort documents by the value in their AutnRankType field. The document with the highest AutnRankType field value is listed first.
Cluster
. Sort documents by decreasing cluster ID. To use this option, you must set Cluster to True
.
Database
. Sort documents by increasing database number. The database numbers are defined in the HPE Content Component configuration file.
Date
. Sort documents by their date (the date contained in the result DateType fields). The most recent document is listed first.
If several documents have the same date, HPE Content Component orders them by the autn:docid
(document ID) number (the highest autn:docid
is listed first).
Distcartesian
. Sort documents according to their distance from a point, specified in Cartesian coordinates (X/Y). When you set XMLMeta to True
, the action returns the calculated distance in a <autn:fieldsortvalue>
tag in the response. Use the following format:
&Sort=Distcartesian{coordX,coordY}:X:Y
where,
coordX
is the specified x coordinate.
coordY
is the specified y coordinate.
X
is the document field that contains the X coordinates.
Y
is the document field that contains the Y coordinates.
You must specify two NumericType fields, in the order X:Y.
For example:
&Sort=Distcartesian{10,11}:X:Y
In this example, HPE Content Component sorts documents according to their distance from the point (10,11). The position of a document in this example is contained in the fields X
and Y
, respectively.
Distspherical
. Sort documents according to their distance from a point, specified in spherical coordinates (latitude and longitude). When you set XMLMeta to True
, the action returns the calculated distance in a <autn:fieldsortvalue>
tag in the response. Use the following format:
&Sort=Distspherical{lat,long}:Latfield:Longfield
where,
lat
is the specified latitude. Specify latitude positions south of the equator as negative.
long
is the specified longitude. Specify longitude positions west of the Greenwich Meridian as negative.
Latfield
is the document field that contains the latitude.
Longfield
is the document field that contains the longitude.
You must specify two NumericType fields in the order latitude:longitude
.
For example:
&Sort=Distspherical{37.75,-122.4}:Lat:Long
In this example, HPE Content Component sorts documents according to their distance from San Francisco (37.75N,122.4W). The latitude and longitude position of a document in this example is contained in the fields Lat
and Long
, respectively.
DocIDDecreasing
. Sort documents by autn:docid
(document ID). The document with the highest autn:docid
is listed first.
DocIDIncreasing
. Sort documents by autn:docid
(document ID). The document with the lowest autn:docid
is listed first.
fieldName:sortMethod
. Sort results according to the value of a specified field.
Documents in which the specified field is empty do not return.
This sort option is optimized when fieldName
is a MatchType field.
fieldName
. The name of the HPE Content Component field to use to determine the document order. You can use fields that you create by using the UserMetaFields parameter.
sortMethod
. The sorting method to apply to the field fieldName
. The following sorting methods are available:
alphabetical

Sort documents alphabetically by the value of the NOTE:

Sort documents by decreasing order of the value in the

For NumericType fields, this method is equivalent to |

Sort documents by increasing order of the value in the

Sort documents by decreasing order of the number in the NOTE:

numberincreasing

Sort documents by increasing order of the number in the NOTE:
HPE Content Component can perform the sorting process more quickly if |
reversealphabetical
|
Sort documents by the reverse alphabetical order of the value in the NOTE:
HPE Content Component can perform the sorting process more quickly if |
Random
. Sort documents randomly.
Relevance
. Sort documents by their relevance (the document with the highest relevance is listed first).
If several documents have the same relevance, HPE Content Component orders them by the autn:docid
(document ID) number (the highest autn:docid
is listed first).
ReverseDate
. Sort documents by their date (the date contained in the DateType field). The oldest document is listed first.
If several documents have the same date, HPE Content Component orders them by the autn:docid
(document ID) number (the highest autn:docid
is listed first).
ReverseRelevance
. Sort documents in reverse order of relevance (the document with the lowest relevance is listed first).
If several documents have the same relevance, HPE Content Component orders them by the autn:docid
(document ID) number (the lowest autn:docid
is listed first).
If you want to sort results by several criteria, specify these criteria in order of precedence, as follows:
sortOption1+sortOption2+...
if you set Cluster
as one of multiple sorting options, it automatically takes precedence over the other sorting options, regardless of its position in the list.
For example:
&Sort=Relevance+DRETITLE:alphabetical+Date
In this example, results order first by Relevance
, then alphabetically by DRETITLE
, and finally by Date
.
