# SortFieldPrefixCSVs

A list of common prefixes in SortType to ignore when sorting.

When your SortType fields contain values with a common prefix (for example because they use Bates numbering), you can configure the Content component to ignore these prefixes when sorting so that it can distinguish between these fields more rapidly.

Set `SortFieldPrefixCSVs` to a list of prefixes that occur in a large number of SortType fields. Separate multiple prefixes with commas. There must be not space before or after a comma. You can specify up to 30 prefixes.

NOTE: An alternative method is to set up processing at index time in Connector Framework Server (CFS) or NiFi Ingest to add a second field in your documents that contains the sort value without the prefix. For more information refer to the CFS or NiFi documentation.

Another alternative is to set SortFieldStorageLength to a larger number, to increase the number of initial characters to use when sorting.
