Sort refinements

You can sort refinement lists alphabetically or by count. For each option, you can choose ascending or descending order.

Example

You can specify the sort order of the RefinementTableWidget or RefinementCollectionWidget by using the sortBy property:

Swift

refinementTableWidget.sortBy = "count:asc"
refinementTableWidget.sortBy = "count:desc"
refinementTableWidget.sortBy = "name:asc"
refinementTableWidget.sortBy = "name:desc"

refinementCollectionWidget.sortBy = "count:asc"
refinementCollectionWidget.sortBy = "count:desc"
refinementCollectionWidget.sortBy = "name:asc"
refinementCollectionWidget.sortBy = "name:desc"
