I've created a custom search scope for the person object. This search scope returns the DisplayName, FirstName, LastName, Company attributes. When I view the custom search scope I can change the sort order (ascending vs descending) of the DisplayName. However when I try to change the sort order of the other returned attributes I receive a search result of no items. Does anyone know if it’s possible to tweak the custom search scope to be able to sort by the other attributes?<o:p></o:p>
In testing I have found that I can sort all attributes of the search scope if I search for % first. Taking this a step further I've modified the NavBar URL to look like the following:<o:p></o:p>
~/IdentityManagement/aspx/common/GlobalSearchResult.aspx?searchtype=<search scope resourceID>&content=%<o:p></o:p>
Unfortunately this approach doesn’t seem to be reliable. Sometimes the sorting works after clicking the navbar link and sometimes it doesn’t.<o:p></o:p>
Any thoughts?<o:p></o:p>
Thanks,
Mark
