Bruno,

Your query looks fine to me, and the query-trace indicates that the server is using your range-index for the sort. What version of MarkLogic Server are you using, and how large is your expanded-tree-cache?

I'm able to perform a very similar query on my laptop, using NLM Medline content. I created a string-index on ArticleTitle and ran this query against 30,000 citations:

xdmp:query-trace(true()),
(
  for $i in //MedlineCitation
  order by $i/Article/ArticleTitle
  return $i
)[1]

The query returned one MedlineCitation, as expected. I'm using 3.2-5 and my expanded-tree-cache-size is 192; but I can lower it to 1-MB and the query still runs.

These citations average only about 2 kB. If your expanded tree cache is small enough, and the top article is quite large, then the top article might be too large to fit in cache. The fact that you are able to run your query with a different sort might support this hypothesis.

Try changing "return $res" to "return xdmp:describe($res)" in your query. That change should allow you to run the query, and the result may point to the problem.

Hi,

I¹ve some difficulties in ordering a search using a string element range
index.
This is my element range index config :
* Scalar type : string
* Namespace URI : (empty)
* Localname : atl
* Collation : http://marklogic.com/collation/

Here is my query :

xdmp:query-trace(true()),
(for $res in //article order by $res/fm/atl return $res)[1]

Here is the log :

But I get this :
ERROR: eval-in Test at file:./Docs

I¹ve also defined an int range index on another field and when I order on
this field it works fine (the log tells me as well that the range index is
being used).

There must something wrong in my server config but I really don¹t know where
to look at. I¹ve followed the performance guide and everything look fine.
Any idea ?

Thanks,
Bruno
