Search Results Web Part

New features

• PR [Search Results] Added sort control #1931
  • Added a sort control component to layouts:
    • Now the list of sortable properties is a static list of 'Sortable' managed properties in the search schema. Custom properties or RefinableXXX have to be entered manually.
    • Updated the Details List sort behavior. Now there is no static sorting anymore. The field used to sort a column comes from the data source sort settings configuration and we clearly make the distinction between display value and sort value in the configuration.

Hey @FranckyC , thank you for your hard work.
Would it be possible to add PR #1786 to this release? It's a small, tested PR and I didn't see a reason to not add it - sorry if I'm too demanding.

Also, if it's ok, i would take over the german translation from #1541 - I'm a german as well so that would just take a couple of minutes to add the missing translations.

Thank you again!

[FranckyC]

Just missed it sorry. I see there are some conflicts on the doc for #1786, could you resolve them? I'll try to include the PR into the next release. We are only on pre release now so we still have time to adjust.

Also if you can update the translations for #1541, sure go ahead, we will integrate them as well (start from English as reference and don't forget to do all Web Parts + common translations).

[edarroudi]

No worries. I fixed #1786 and updated the translations in another PR #1987 , based on #1541. I think I don't have permission to adjust #1541 directly as I'm no maintainer.

[FranckyC]

Merged #1786 and #1987
