This is the seventh episode in the series “SharePoint Search Queries Explained - The Series”. See the intro post for links to all episodes.Tip: Increase the default number of items to display to 25 or 50. Ten items is not a lot and people are getting more and more used to scrolling these days.
There are four ways to sort a result in SharePoint:
- Sort the results based on a ranking profile
- You may also influence ranking by using the XRANK keyword (dynamic ordering)
- Sort the results based on a managed property ascending or descending
- Sort the results based on a sorting formula
- Sort the results randomly
- This is accommodated using a special sorting formula
