<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Henry!<br>
<br>
So, good news! As long as you’re on a reasonably current version of ASpace, you can change order by primary type purely via configuration.<br>
<br>
The way you’d do it is by setting the bq param in AppConfig[:solr_params] – here’s what we’ve got in production right now (we’re setting q.op also, because we wanted the default search operator to be AND:<br>
<br>
AppConfig[:solr_params] = { "q.op" => "AND", "bq" => proc { "primary_type:resource^100 OR primary_type:accession^100 OR primary_type:subject^50 OR primary_type:agent_person^50 OR primary_type:agent_corporate_entity^30 OR primary_type:agent_family^30" }}<br>
<br>
To set it how you’d like it, you could take our BQ and adjust the values so that AOs > collections > etc., e.g.:<br>
<br>
AppConfig[:solr_params] = {“bq” => proc { “primary_type:archival_object^100 OR primary_type:resource^50” }<br>
<br>
This is assuming you don’t care about sort order for other types, but fill in however many you want and adjust boost increments (the number after ^) to suit.
<br>
<br>
For more info on how bq works, consult the docs for Solr’s dismax parser: <a href="https://lucene.apache.org/solr/guide/6_6/the-dismax-query-parser.html">
https://lucene.apache.org/solr/guide/6_6/the-dismax-query-parser.html</a><br>
<br>
Note that in Solr it’s normal to pass multiple bq parameters if you want to boost multiple things, but prior to 2.6.0, solr_params didn’t support it, so one “bq” with a query using OR is a workaround.<br>
<br>
If you’re on 2.6.0 or higher, you can do:<br>
<br>
AppConfig[:solr_params] = {“bq” => [ ‘primary_type:archival_object^100’, ‘primary_type:resource^50’]}<br>
<br>
which is technically “cleaner” by solr standards, but is equivalent in function as far as I can tell.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F4E79">I work at Tufts University in cooperation with the Digital Collections & Archives. I am working on various changes to the public user interface. Many of you helped with questions before, which were a great
help!</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F4E79">There’s a change we want to make to search results. I suspect it may involve getting into controllers and the functioning of ASpace, but I wanted to check, and ask if anyone has a plugin that does this sort
of thing. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F4E79"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F4E79">We want to change the sort options for search results so that archival objects appear at the top, then collections, then everything else. So by json_modeltype, with two of the highest precedence.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F4E79"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F4E79">I thought of doing this in jquery, but this wouldn’t work because that would only sort the results on the page.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F4E79"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F4E79">This may require development, but I wondered if someone had a direction to point me in, or if they had a plugin that could be modified.
