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 - i might have found a problem.
I wanted to check my code regarding #1786 but the new solution wasn't showing correctly. To check if the new version is loaded correctly i looked at change #1908. But that wasn't showing correctly either. The 4.6.0 version is showing correctly. So i thought maybe a public cdn problem or something like that. But the files are identical. So i looked at the chunks and saw that

pnp-modern-search/search-parts/src/dataSources/MicrosoftSearchDataSource.ts

Line 414 in 7710b8a

if ((this.properties.entityTypes.indexOf(EntityType.Message) !== -1 ||

is not reflected correctly. It seems to be an old version.

See file chunk.pnp-modern-search-microsoft-search-datasource_9985eb76031933f9eb75.js

I can write more about it later - have to go to a meeting...

[edarroudi]

so yeah. I rebuilt it locally and the result is fine:

So something went wrong in the build / bundle .

[FranckyC]

I updated the sppkg package. Can you try again?

[edarroudi]

Yeah. Works fine now. Thank :)

Hey @FranckyC ,
I did check the german language now and I have found a "bug" with moment and fixed it : #2006
Hope you can create a new hotfix version? Sorry for that, next time I do a full test.
