Sort on multiple fields with Site search API

[JeromeKaliop (Jerome Lecocq)]

Hi,

We are using the Swiftype Site search API and we would like to sort documents on multiple fields (of the same document type). The documentation page (Sorting | Swiftype Documentation) suggests that we can only sort on 1 field per document type. I'm suprised of this limitation and I would like to know if there is another way to do that with the Site search API ?

Thanks for your help

Just a thought, could you index an additional field for sorting? It could be the combination of your primary sort field and secondary sort field:

sort: {fieldA}_{fieldB}
