Hello.
When I use Smart Search I don't know how does it sort displayed results.
It doesn't sort items by date (or ID).

How can I display news items on top?

Thanks.
Can you elaborate more details regarding your question?

1. Which page smart search are you referring to?

2. Can you share with me what keyword you trying to search?

Hello.
1) I check videos pages: https://strana-krovi.com/videos
2) find latest video and copy one word from the title
3) navigate to https://strana-krovi.com/search (or use smart search module)
4) paste this word
Thanks.

I see, it seems like the Joomla smart search result order is base on the overall relevance score instead of the item by date or ID.

Hello. You are right. Get answer on github
Smart Search sorts results by relevance. The order of the finder plugins has no influence on the order of the search results. The finder plugins are never executed during searching. They are only used to populate the index. This is not a bug, but expected behavior.


that's expected but relevance could be adjusted by the indexing plugin

Steps to reproduce the issue
In backend > plugins > finder, I sorted plugins to display "Users" at the end of list:

Smart Search - EasyBlog Posts
Smart Search - EasySocial Videos
Smart Search - EasySocial Albums
Smart Search - EasySocial Groups
Smart Search - EasySocial Users
Result
But in fact (IN FRONTEND), in search results the latest items is 3. “Smart Search - EasySocial Albums”.

Expected result
I expected to see 5. “Smart Search - EasySocial Users” at the end (Albums should be before Users).

Hmm, do you mean you would like to show the result according to this smart search plugins ordering?
If yes, unfortunately it is not possible to achieve this at this point of time.

Even Joomla smart search also can't be achieved, the Joomla default sorting only available for relevance, date, and list price.

If you would like to have these 3 sorting which follow the Joomla smart search behavior, you can submit this feature request on our voice page here https://stackideas.com/voices/easysocial .

Sorry. I missed and posted reply in wrong topic. Another is there (I supposed to post in it): https://stackideas.com/forums/smart-search-result-wrong-content-type-sorting

Yes, I use "date" in backend but as you said

There is nothing to do? I should post about it to Joomla forum? Thanks.

If you would like the Easysocial search sorted by date instead of relevance then it is not possible to achieve this at this point of time.

Currently, the Easysocial search result only sorting by relevance.

Hello. Can you please discuss this issue and may be fix it in future releases.
I mean – respect Joomla (Smart Search) settings. For example sort items by "date" (or other) instead of "relevance" (as default)?
users ask that they would like to seee fresh items on top of search results.
Thanks.
