I have created a content search web part but I cannot get the sort to work.
I want it to sort by the Site Name in alpha order, so I went into search schema and set the ows_SiteName to the mapped crawled properties for RefinableString02 . I did this several days ago (I should say that I am on SharePoint Online and cannot prompt a crawl).Â
However, it seems to be working in my search site – when I select the refiner of RefinableString02, I see all the site names in alpha order.Â
But it is not working in my content search web part. In the sorting panel, I select RefinableString02 and the order is not alpha. Is there an additional step that I have to do for it to sort alphabetically in my content search web part?
Have you tried editing the content search web part properties itself?
Expand Settings toggle and Enable “Show sort dropdown”. Â Here, you can create your own sort order in JSON.
Hope this helps.
