Put Custom Sorter (Server-Wide) Operation
-
The Lucene indexing engine allows you to create your own Custom Sorters
where you can define how query results will be ordered based on your specific requirements. -
Use
PutServerWideSortersOperation
to deploy a custom sorter to the RavenDB server.
Once deployed, you can use it to sort query results for all queries made on all databases in your cluster. -
To deploy a custom sorter that will apply only to the database scoped to your Document Store,
see put custom sorter. -
A custom sorter can also be uploaded server-wide from the Studio.
-
In this page:
Put custom sorter server-wide
-
First, create your own sorter class that inherits from the Lucene class Lucene.Net.Search.FieldComparator.
-
Then, send the custom sorter to the server using the
PutServerWideSortersOperation
.
// Create the sorter definition object
const sorterDefinition = {
// The sorter name must be the same as the sorter's class name in your code
name: "MySorter",
// The code must be compilable and include all necessary using statements (C# code)
code: "<code of custom sorter>"
};
// Define the put sorters operation, pass the sorter definition
const putSortersServerWideOp = new PutServerWideSortersOperation(sorterDefinition);
// Execute the operation by passing it to maintenance.server.send
await documentStore.maintenance.server.send(putSortersServerWideOp );
You can now order your query results using the custom sorter.
A query example is available here.
