Sorting in Endeca

In Endeca Assembler 11.1 all are defined as the components, even the Sorting’s are also defined as the Component . We can see the tutorials how to write the sorting component, and how to inject it.

Create a Custom component, in the Follwing path /com/endeca/infront/cartridge/model/sort

$class=com.infront.cartridge.model.SortOptionsRatingsConfig

$scope=request

label=By Rating

create a class that extends SortOptionConfig

import com.endeca.infront.cartridge.model.SortOptionConfig;

public class SortOptionsRatingsConfig extends SortOptionConfig {

public String RATING_HIGH=”Rating|1”;

    

     public SortOptionsRatingsConfig() {

           super();

     }

     public SortOptionsRatingsConfig(String pLabel) {

           mLabel = pLabel;

     }

     private String mLabel;

     public String getLabel() {

           return mLabel;

     }

     public void setLabel(String pLabel) {

           mLabel = pLabel;

     }

     public String getValue() {

// if the Soring value is Dynamically Dependent then we can write the Business logic for generating Sort Dynamically.

           return RATING_HIGH;

     }

}

Go to ResultsList Component  

atg\endeca\assembler\cartridge\handler\ResultsList.properties

and Register the Component in the Sorteres property.

sorters=\
/com/endeca/infront/cartridge/model/sort/Ratings

That’s It You will be getting the Sorting by Reviews, while fetching the Results. The Main Constarint is you have to define the Sorting Property as  the Double or the Alpha during indexing.
