    About this task

    Sorting enables you to view your search results in an order based on their field values. You can select any of the sort options available in the search application.
    Note:
    If your search administrator has disabled sort options globally or for the search application, the sort menu doesn't appear and you can only see your search results in the default relevancy order.

    Procedure

    1. On the results page for your search, access the sort menu.
      • In Now Mobile, select Filter and select Sort by.
      • In other applications, select Most relevant.
      The sort menu displays the list of available sort options.
    2. Select the sort option that you want to apply to your current search result set.
      As an example, to display the most recently updated search results first, select Most recent.
      The search results page refreshes to display your results in the desired order.
      Note:
      The new sort order persists when you select facets or navigation filters. It resets to the default relevancy order when you start a new search by modifying the search query terms.
