Inserting and Customizing a Sort Component Using the Coveo for Sitecore Legacy Search UI Framework
Coveo for Sitecore 4.1 - November 2018
A sort component allows you to organize search results according to a particular order. The following guide explains how a developer or an administrator can add and set up a basic sort component.
Making a Sitecore Field Sortable
Before inserting any sort component in a search page, you should make sure the Sitecore fields you want to sort on are sortable (See Making a Sitecore Field Sortable).
Once you identified which fields are sortable, you can begin the edition process of the search page.
Inserting and Customizing a Sort Component
- Access the Experience Editor of the Coveo search page you want to edit (see Step 1 in Customizing the Properties of Your Search Interface).
- Locate the
coveo-sorts(orcoveo-sorts-MVC) placeholder just above the search interface, on the right hand side, and click it. - Click Add here to insert a sort component.
- In the Select a Rendering dialog, click the desired sort component and click Select.
- In the Control Properties dialog, specify the following properties depending on the sort component you chose:
- In the Basic Settings section, enter a Title for the sort component. This title will be displayed in the search interface.
-
Depending on the kind of sort, fill out at least the following additional fields:
Coveo Relevancy Sort Only the Title is mandatory Coveo Date Sort Only the Title is mandatory Coveo Field Sort Sort Field: choose a field on which you wish to base the sorting. -
In the Id section:
-
In Unique Identifier, type in a unique identifier of your choice. This identifier will be used in the website DOM and must therefore only use alphanumerical characters, underscores, and hyphens.

If you do not set a unique identifier yourself, Coveo for Sitecore will generate one for you. You are strongly encouraged to choose your own unique and meaningful identifier.
