Sort the search results

You can sort search results by the following criteria:

• Relevance
• The Name field
• The Last Modified field
• A single attribute type
  
  Note Sorting by attribute type is only available if attribute types have been specified in Settings. To add or delete attribute types by which to sort search results, you need a global role that has the System administration global permission.

Steps

1. Perform a search via the Search field or Search widget.
   
2. On the Search page, click next to the sort field.
   
   
3. Select the basis by which to sort the search results.
   By default, the results are sorted in descending order.
4. Optionally, click to sort in ascending order.

What's next?

• If you sorted the search results by an attribute type that is not shown in the tiles, you can add it to the tiles, so that you can see the values that determined the sort order.
• You can create a search filter or edit an existing search filter, to save your sort settings as part of the saved filter configuration.
