Yes. While you specify sort field there is a query in the background which returns all fields, not only those which exist in your template (used for previous filter criteria). Technically you can require sorting by a field which is not present in some of the search results. Open chrome dev tools and type space then remove text completely. Look for a request like that http://site/sitecore/shell/Applications/Buckets/ItemBucket.asmx/GetFields. My response contains more than 1000 fields.

I am not sure what do you mean. Custom fields from template or custom field types? If the first, then the answer is yes. I used Published field which comes from my custom template and it is not a default Sitecore field, I've created templates from the scratch. Default types like date, integer have proper comparer already, I've never created a comparer for custom field types and I don't know for now how to do it. Btw. do you really need that?

| Dec 19, 2017 at 21:58 | comment | added | Alan Płócieniak | @DavidHake answer updated with raw values of my crafted queries. Yes, I presented two cases on the gif (descending/ascending) | |

| Dec 19, 2017 at 21:54 | comment | added | David Hake | This is great detail. I think part of my confusion is that my Sitecore site is actually not giving me predictive options based on what I am typing. I'd be curious to see what the sort portion of the query you put together looks like. I assume it's +template:{guid};+sort{?} Also, are you aware of being able to define if it will sort ascending or descending based on the field you enter? | |
