SortType

The fields with this property are optimized for sorting. Set SortType to True to store the associated PropertyFieldCSVs fields for fast sorting when using the ARANGE FieldText specifier or an alphabetical Sort option when querying IDOL Server.

NOTE: In general, OpenText recommends that you use MatchType rather than SortType, which also optimizes ARANGE and alphabetical Sort options.

With SortType, IDOL can store only one value for a document for each field, and the length is limited to SortFieldStorageLength. With MatchType, you can store multiple values, of any length. It also has more efficient memory usage.
