FAQ: Why is grid view sorting not available for all field when using Filters?

Question:

When using the Filter; once it has been applied, I am unable to sort my filtered results by certain fields in the grid view. Is there a particular reason that this is unavailable for all fields?

Response:

Filtering uses heavy database queries (different than search), and sorting those by certain fields can take a very long time and can put a lot of strain on your database. The below fields are available for sorting when using the filters. If you would like to sort by any fields NOT on the below list, we would suggest searching. Keep in mind you can set up saved searches to streamline search composition.

Fields available for sorting when using Filters:

• Document type
• Subject/Title
• Author
• Date
• DocID
• Shortcut
• Relevancy Status
• Page Count
