The parameter to the Catalog's 'searchResults' method is spelled
'sort_on' (it must be a legal Python identifier, because it is
passed only as a keyword parameter).  'sort_on' is an attribute of
the 'dtml-in' tag;  if you let the catalog sort for you, you will
be *much* better off (assuming it has a reasonable index to use,
that is).

Sorting won't work as expected with TextIndexes (but then, what is
"expected" in that case?)

[Zope] Catalog sort-on parameter

2000-11-15 Thread Menard . Jean-Francois

I'm trying to use the 'sort-on' parameter in a Catalog search, and it
doesn't work.  I use Zope 2.2.2.  

I read in pasts messages that the 'sort-on' feature was broken, is it still
?

I'm not sure if I use the right syntax so could someone post an sample code
here please ?

Thanks!
