# RegenerateSortFieldIndex

Regenerate modified SortType fields without reindexing the Content component. Set `RegenerateSortFieldIndex` to `True` if you want to define SortType fields or add extra SortType fields but have already indexed content. This allows Content to generate the files that it requires to internally identify SortType fields at startup, so that you need only to restart Content to be able to use SortType fields, rather than having to reindex all your data.

After the SortType index has been regenerated, OpenText recommends that you disable `RegenerateSortFieldIndex` again to avoid wasting time by regenerating the SortType index every time you restart Content.

NOTE: You can also regenerate the SortType index without restarting the server by using the DREREGENERATE index action.

Type: | Boolean
Default: | False
Required: | No
