sorting alphabetically, questions #29

Closed jduss4 closed 1 year ago

jduss4 commented 7 years ago

Right now ES returns results like this:

?facet_sort=alpha|desc

{
  alice : 20,
  charlemagne: 30,
  Abigail : 20
}

Is it possible to sort alphabetically without regard to capitalization? Also, is it possible to specify (maybe by field) whether empty values should go at the beginning or end of sorting alphabetically?

jduss4 commented 7 years ago

Looks like people mostly using custom analyzers that are added to the mapping to "lowercase" everything for the purpose of sorting.

No longer using "alpha" because then that sort doesn't work for date histograms, which use "_key". Instead using "term"

Moving this to milestone 2 until I get any comments from the Cather team

@techgique may have a lead on this, I believe he looked into analyzers dealing with capitalization, etc

Do we need this for Petitioning for Freedom and Whitman

Another related issue to this is letters with diacritics sorting to the end (see family letters)

I believe this is don, diacritics might be another issue
