Enabling Custom Search Results Sorting

You can enable sorting by custom properties by editing the portalconfig.xml file.

  1. Get the object ID of the properties you want to configure for custom sorting.
    1. Navigate to the property in the Administrative Objects Directory.
    2. Right-click the link to the property and then choose Properties. This will yield a link that looks something like this:
      http://portal.company.com/portal/server.pt?open=36&objID=200&parentname=ObjMgr‌&parentid=5&mode=1&in_hi_userid=1&cached=true
      The objId argument is the one containing the integer you want. In this link, the object ID is 200, so you would complete the CategoryField entry as follows:
      <CategoryField_1 value="PT200"/>
  2. Open portalconfig.xml in a text editor and find the <Search> section.
  3. Add the following entries to the <Search> section:
    <CategoryName_1 value="CategoryName"/>
    <CategoryField_1 value="PTObjectID"/> 

    Replace CategoryName with the name you want to appear in the Sort By drop-down list (for example, Region).

    Replace ObjectID with the integer that identifies the property object.

  4. To add more entries, repeat Step 3, adding analogous tags named CategoryName_2, CategoryField_2, CategoryName_3, CategoryField_3, and so forth.
    Note: The Category tags must be numbered consecutively without skipping. For example, if there is a CategoryName_3 tag, it must be preceded by tags for CategoryName_1 and CategoryName_2.
