Configure the Sort Order of Parametric Values

In the parametric field side bar, you can expand a field to view a short list of values for that field, and can click See All to view all values available for that field. By default, Find displays this full list in order of document count (that is, the first value in the list is the value that occurs in most result documents).

You can modify the order that Find displays these values by modifying the parametricValuesSort property in the config.json file.

To change the sort order for parametric values

  1. Go to the Find home directory.
  2. Open config.json in a text editor.
  3. In the uiCustomization section, add the parametricValuesSort property. This property accepts one of the following string values (the options are case sensitive):

    Off Do not sort results.
    Alphabetical Order values in alphabetical order.
    Date

    Order values by date. The most recent date is listed first. For this option, the field must contain date values.

    DocumentCount Order values by the number of documents that contain this value. The value with the highest document count is listed first. This is the default value.
    NumberDecreasing Order values in numerical order, listing the highest number first. Non-numeric values are sorted alphabetically and ordered after the numeric data.
    NumberIncreasing Order values in numerical order, listing the lowest number first. Non-numeric values are sorted alphabetically and ordered after the numeric data.
    ReverseAlphabetical Order values in reverse alphabetical order.
    ReverseDate

    Order values by date. The earliest date is listed first. For this option, the field must contain date values.

    ReverseDocumentCount Order values by the number of documents that contain this value. The value with the lowest document count is listed first.

    For example:

    "uiCustomization": {
       "parametricValuesSort": "Alphabetical"
    }
  4. Restart Find to apply your configuration changes.
