Sorting¶

Sorting behavior depends on the data type:

to sort by id, you have to use the field GenericEntity.ID_SORT
to sort by string, you should define an additional field with the TEXT_SORT analyzer:

    @Column
    @Fields({
        @Field(analyzer = @Analyzer(definition = HibernateSearchAnalyzer.TEXT_STEMMING)),
        @Field(name = EN_SORT, analyzer = @Analyzer(definition = HibernateSearchAnalyzer.TEXT_SORT))
    })
    @SortableField(forField = EN_SORT)
    private String en;

to sort by date, you don’t need an additional field BUT you need to sort using SortField.Type.LONG (starting from 0.11)

Note that, you need to add a @SortableField(forField = "fieldName") annotation for each field used for sorting.
