Ordering results by rating/review

[danielecelsa07]

Hi,

I am looking for a custom way to sort the results after a search with Ajax Search Pro.

I see I can choose by Relevance, Title, Date, Random, Custom Field.

I am using SiteReview to dynamically add rating and review to each of my Custom Post type, and I would like the results to be shown based on the rating.
Is this possible? If yes, how?
FYI, SiteReview provides a meta data value called ‘_glsr_ranking’ that I guess would be useful in order to sort the results as I need. Is there a way to sort the results by Meta Data?

By the way, how ‘by Relevance’ would work in ordering the results?

Many thanks,
Daniele

Hi Danielle,

I cannot tell for sure, but the fact that it’s using a custom field is a very good news. The Meta Data is the same as a custom field, so using the custom field solrting option is the way to go.
I would try these configurations:
– Config1: https://i.imgur.com/btObyBc.png
– Config2: https://i.imgur.com/NIFOil0.png

Let’s hope that either of these work, and the meta field does not contain a serialized object of any sort, but a numeric/string value.

Relevance ordering is a bit complicated to explain fully, but it calculates a relevance number based on the phrase occurence in the selected fields. Some of these factors can be adjusted under the Relevance Options panel.

Thanks Ernest, Config2 worked 😉

Many thanks,
Daniele
