Sorting Search Results

The sort function allows you to select the sort order to apply on search results.

Important: 3DSearch stores sorting settings locally in your cache. You will keep your search results with the same sorting when refreshing your browser.

Option	Description
Relevancy	Restores the default result order after another sort order has been selected. It gives a certain amount of boost to: Data owned by the logged user, which 3DSearch ranks higher than the same data owned by someone else. Data recently created or modified. After 30 days, this freshness weight no longer applies. Product Structure data, as 3DSearch ranks higher the data that has the "root" role than data instantiated under another root. The same content gets a lower ranking when it has the "leaf" role in the content structure.
Modification Date	Sorts object by modification date in ascending or descending order. If objects have not been modified, 3DSearch does not make any fallback on other fields, like creation date.
Title	Sorts objects alphabetically by title in ascending or descending order. Note: In ascending order, numbers always sort before uppercase letters and upper case before lowercase letters.
Creation Date	Sorts objects by creation date in ascending or descending order.
Owner	Sorts objects alphabetically by owner name in ascending or descending order.
Type	Sorts objects alphabetically by type in ascending or descending order.

In Datagrid view:

Sorting works on any column header if the number of search results is less than 1000. Else, it only works on the Title, Owner, Creation date, and Modification date.
If you sort a column related to a predicate with an NLS value, 3DSearch orders data by grouping. Remind that all strings that you do not enter, are NLS values.
