Ordering results

Value search results consist of values grouped by record attribute. Attributes in the result list are returned in an ascending alphabetical order.

The ordering of values, within each attribute, uses an order described as follows:

If you specify a relevance ranking strategy, the order of results is ranked according to it.
If you do not specify a relevance ranking strategy, the Dgraph process of the Endeca Server uses the value for this strategy provided in the DIMSEARCH_CONFIG XML configuration document (you can send an updated version of this document to the Endeca Server by using the Configuration Web Service).
Further, if the document does not provide a strategy, the Endeca Server ranks the results using the three strategies in this order to break ties: interp, exact, and static(nbins,descending).
