Xapian:...eSorter(3)

💅 NAME 💅

okay bestie, welcome to Xapian:...eSorter(3) from the User Contributed Perl Documentation — yes, that's the manual name folded in right here near the top, we're not copying the whole header line, we're too chic for that. This page is all about Search::Xapian::MultiValueSorter, which allows sorting by a several values. (The "a several" is literally how it's written, iykyk. 💀)

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Results are ordered by the first value. In the event of a tie, the second is used. If this is the same for both, the third is used, and so on. It's giving priority list but make it values, and honestly? Obsessed. 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

  use Search::Xapian;

  my $db = new Search::Xapian::Database("/path/to/db");
  my $enq = new Search::Xapian::Enquire($db);
  my $sorter = new Search::Xapian::MultiValueSorter(1, 3, 5);
  $enq->set_sort_by_key($sorter);

Like, build the db, build the Enquire, build the sorter with values 1, 3, 5, then set_sort_by_key it. Main character energy fr fr. ✨

🎀 METHODS 🎀

• new [<value>...] — constructs the sorter and adds the values you listed. Slay.
• add <value> [<forward>] — adds another value to sort on. By default, values sort forwards, unless forward is specified and is false. That's the whole vibe. 🫶
