Hello Jagadeesh,

Try this -

1. Navigate to System Administration - > System Configuration -> Knowledge Management -> Contenet Management -> User Interface -> (Select Advanced Mode) -> Search -> Property Set for Search Results.

2. Check property 'cm_modified', make sure option 'indexable' is enabled.

3. Go to 'search optin set' and check for properties -

Default sorting mode.

Default property for sorting.

Hope this helps.

Hi Amit,

Thanks for your reply.

Let me clarify you my requirement; I need to have an option for displaying the results sorted in Date Modified after the basic search is done.

ie., I will have a button saying: Sort by Date Modified after the basic search is performed and results are displayed.

Hi Jagdeesh,

As amit had said, did you try adding the custom command in the property for sorting?

It will come as a dropdown avalue and also there will be a button for you to select ascending/descending.

Let us know whether you have done the Search Option change.

Hi,

I tried as suggested by Amit. I selected cm_modified in the allowed sort properties; but there is no change in the search results. I can't locate any sorting button or dropdown.

P.S the default Property is: cm_rnd_rankvalue

Tell me if I am missing anything.

Hi Jagdeesh,

Which search option are you using? Is it customized?

Sorting option will only come after you execute a search and there is more than 1 search result.

Have you enabled sorting option in the search option?

And you said u r using a custom "modified" property. You have to add that in ur sort option.

Pls go thru [Article|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/f0747ac2-ffd9-2910-de9a-8a3dc44da8b4] for various options you can customize

Hi George,

We are not using the standard KM search iview. We have developed a custom Search iview.

The Search Function Used is:

ISearchSession session = federatedSearch.searchWithSession(qel, indexList, getResourceContext());

Can I use any API to sort the search results based on dateModified? Please help.

Regards,

JK.
