Usage
You can select sort conditions when searching. Sort conditions can be selected in the search options dialog displayed by clicking the Options button.
To sort using the search field, enter “sort:field_name” in the search form, separating sort and the field name with a colon (:).
The following sorts documents containing fess by document size in ascending order:
fess sort:content_length
To sort in descending order:
fess sort:content_length.desc
To sort by multiple fields, specify them separated by commas:
fess sort:content_length.desc,last_modified
