I'm creating a search that allows results to be sorted in different ways. In defining the sortable fields, I was careful to use untokenized indexes. Everything was working great except for one field-- it refused to sort properly, even though all the others were fine.
It seems as if the presence of empty strings in my data were to blame. By setting them to a default value, sorting on that field suddenly worked fine. Why is that? The same failure happened when I changed the empty strings to nulls. Do I always have to check for empty strings or nulls when defining sort fields? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. _______________________________________________ Ferret-talk mailing list Ferret-talk@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/ferret-talk
