Hi Terry, The way I was hoping it would work is to call static method
SortedField.addField([field name],[indexPath]); In a init servlet at startup (there is a sample servlet in the servelet directory of the SearchBean contribution). Then we you want to sort by that field call the static method SortedField.getSortedField([fieldName]) Which will return the precreated sorted field if it exists. Again, I'm sorry I didn't yet have time to fully test this, but this is the way it SHOULD work. If it doesn't work that way please let me know and I'll look at it. --Peter On 7/3/02 7:22 AM, "Terry Steichen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'm using Peter's SearchBean code to sort search results.
