Tim, I believe that the first author in the sequence is used by default, anyway. To test that, run a search with the <debug>true</debug> flag in your options node, and the output will contain a report that shows you exactly what the flwor expression was.
Of course if you wanted the second one, you'd be out of luck, but for this case I think you'll get that behavior anyway. --Colleen ________________________________________ From: [email protected] [[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tim Finney [[email protected]] Sent: Friday, December 02, 2011 1:59 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [MarkLogic Dev General] search:search sort operator Hi All, I have a lot of docs, each with one or more author elements. Is there an easy way to tell search:search() to only look at the first author element when returning search results ordered by author? Here's what my sort operator looks like in the options node. <operator name="sort"> <state name="author"> <sort-order direction="ascending" type="xs:string" collation="http://marklogic.com/collation/";> <element ns="my-ns" name="author"/> </sort-order> </state> </operator> Best, Tim Finney _______________________________________________ General mailing list [email protected] http://developer.marklogic.com/mailman/listinfo/general _______________________________________________ General mailing list [email protected] http://developer.marklogic.com/mailman/listinfo/general
