How to Sort Search Result By Title, PublicationData, LastUpdated, etc..
I just want to sort search result by Title, PublicationData, LastUpdated etc.. Please see the attached image for more details. It has separate drop-down for select search field. I just want to sort the search result when selecting an item from the drop-down.
how I can do to make me order the search results based on the outcome golf products?
Hello,
The approach for achieving the desired result is to make a custom SearchResults widget inheriting from the default one and using its template, which we will customize to add the widgets to display the required data. I have made a sample for you, where I use the base logic for the searching and only add the logic for displaying the desired data and sorting. Basically, you could get the fields of the result items and filter them, or use an item OriginalContentId to query it. The easiest way to get the items count is to get the number of items bound to the repeater, since there is no property set for this and the variable is 'hidden' in the base InitializeControls.

Code:
Copy Code
public class CustomSearch : SearchResults public override string LayoutTemplatePath get return CustomSearch.CustomSearchLayoutTemplatePath; set base.LayoutTemplatePath = value;
public Label TitleLabel get return this.Container.GetControl<Label>("Title", true);
public Label PagesLabel get return this.Container.GetControl<Label>("Pages", true);
public Button Sort get return this.Container.GetControl<Button>("Sort", true);
protected override void InitializeControls(Telerik.Sitefinity.Web.UI.GenericContainer container) base.InitializeControls(container);
this.Sort.Click += Sort_Click; if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(this.Query)) this.TitleLabel.Text = string.Format("You searched for '0'", this.Query); var data = this.ResultsList.DataSource as IEnumerable<object>; if (data != null) var count = data.Count(); this.PagesLabel.Text = string.Format("0 Results Found", count.ToString()); if (count > 0) this.Sort.Visible = true;
void Sort_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) var data = this.ResultsList.DataSource as IEnumerable<IDocument>; data = data.OrderByDescending(t => t.GetValue("Title")); this.ResultsList.DataSource = data; this.ResultsList.DataBind();
private static string CustomSearchLayoutTemplatePath = "~/Widgets/CustomSearch/CustomSearchTemplate.ascx";
Template:
Copy Code
<%@ Control Language="C#" %><%@ Register Assembly="Telerik.Sitefinity" Namespace="Telerik.Sitefinity.Web.UI" TagPrefix="sitefinity" %><%@ Register Assembly="Telerik.Sitefinity.Search.Impl" Namespace="Telerik.Sitefinity.Services.Search.Web.UI.Public" TagPrefix="sfSearch" %>
<sfSearch:SearchBox ID="topSearchBox" runat="server" />
<asp:Label ID="Title" runat="server" Text=""></asp:Label><asp:Label ID="Pages" runat="server" Text=""></asp:Label>
<asp:Button ID="Sort" runat="server" Text="Sort" Visible="false" />
<asp:Repeater ID="resultsList" runat="server"> <HeaderTemplate> <dl class="sfsearchResultsWrp sfsearchReultTitleSnippetUrl"> </HeaderTemplate> <ItemTemplate> <dt class="sfsearchResultTitle"><a id="A1" runat="server" href='<%# Eval("Link")%>'><%# Eval("Title") %></a></dt> <dd class="sfsearchResultSnippet"><%# Eval("Summary")%></dd> <dd class="sfsearchResultUrl"><a id="A2" runat="server" href='<%# Eval("Link")%>'><%# Eval("Link")%></a></dd> <dd class="sfsearchResultHighLighter"><%# Eval("HighLighterResult")%></dd> </ItemTemplate> <FooterTemplate> </dl> </FooterTemplate></asp:Repeater><sitefinity:Pager ID="pager" runat="server" /><sfSearch:SearchBox ID="bottomSearchBox" runat="server" />
I hope you find this sample useful. You can use it as a starter to achieve your requirement.
