Hi, thank you very much for this detailed information. Could you tell me where I could find the appropriate code for more search orders? I would like to sort the results by file name and extension.

Thanks Martin,
ReplyDeleteyou can try below option, might be it will help:-
Option 1:- Try with File extension as manage property as sort option.
Option 2:- Write a small JS function in CEWP which will modify the url with defined JSON format in term of file extension or Custom code.
Option 3:- Different one but you can try with Query rules.
Thanks again, but I am a newbie and I can't write functions at all. I would need proper code lines which I would paste in the field under the heading "Available sort oders (JSON). It would be great if you could indicate a Reference where I could search myself cos I couldn't find anything online.
