How to sort results?

[oleksify]

Is there a way to sort results of search? I use indextank for e-commerce app for facet search & catalog list. I need to have the ability to sort by name in ASC & DESC orders, and sort by (price * product.currency.index). As results returned as paginated results I'm not able to sort them as array bevcause each page begins from the start. Paginate => false didn't work right now. Any ideas hot to accomplish this?

Search indexes work a little bit different form relational databases basically there are scoring functions for this.
Tanker does not provide a specific api for this because the way scoring functions and variables can vary a lot.
check out

for more info.

About the pagination, as I addressed on the other thread it seems to be that IndexTank enforces a default of 10 so if you are willing to always return all results you should try setting a huge per page number but I would not recommend it.

There is an example on the tanker readme on how to use functions and variables for sorting Geospatial data.
