Hi!
Thank you for the details.
It should be the case by default, I guess there is some sort of an exception, which does not trigger the re-sorting of the results after all of them are fetched.
I can suggest a custom code to get around this, it is probably the best and fastest possible solution.
function asp_compare_by_relevance( $a, $b ) {
return $b->relevance - $a->relevance;
}
add_filter( 'asp_results', 'asp_reorder_results_by_relevance', 10, 1 );
function asp_reorder_results_by_relevance( $results ) {
usort($results, 'asp_compare_by_relevance');
return $results;
}Try adding this code to the functions.php file in your theme/child theme directory – make sure to have a full server back-up first for safety. For more details you can check the safe coding guidelines.
Let me know, if this changes anything. Thank you!
