Hi all,
Is it possible to apply a script on sort without using a numeric field, but
one based on a string?
I want to to re-order the results based on a dictionary of values that
exist in a field.
I have never tried scripts before, but if it is possible to write a
cascaded statement, then I could apply boosting as well to do this trick.
Cheers
/JZ
