If you already have code to generate a cts:query and format results, you might
prefer search:resolve-nodes. That way you won't have to change as much code,
but it will still replace your FLWOR expression to handle sorting and
pagination. You'll just have to construct a search:options node for the
sorting, and provide the pagination and cts:query. The query has to be XML,
which you can generate using easily.
search:resolve-nodes(
document { $query }/*, $options, $page-start, $page-size)
http://docs.marklogic.com/search:resolve-nodes has more, and
http://docs.marklogic.com/search:search outlines the search options. Look for
'<sort-order>', like this example:
<sort-order type="xs:string"
collation="http://marklogic.com/collation/";
direction="ascending">
<element ns="my-namespace" name="my-element"/>
<annotation>some user comment can go here</annotation>
</sort-order>
<sort-order direction="ascending">
<score/>
</sort-order>
