Sorting

You can sort Resume and JD search results by selecting further fields in the sorting parameter.

JSON request with Sorting parameter

Note:

The sort parameter arranges search results in either ascending (asc) or descending (desc) order.
When more than one sort criteria is provided, the second entry will only be used if the first entry results in a tie. If there is a third entry, it will only be used if the first and second entries are tied. This pattern continues with further entries.

"sorting":[
      {
        "field" : "Field Name 1",
        "order" : "asc/desc"
      },
	  {
        "field" : "Field Name 2",
        "order" : "asc/desc"
      }
]

The following fields can be used in the sorting (above) parameter:

Table 1. Facets Results
