Sorting search results

Hi all,
I was just wondering if it’s possible to set an ordering to search results. I’m searching through everything to find, for example, the word ‘artist’. The time at which they occur is the important thing for me, so if I were able to sort the results on Begin Time that would be really handy.

Thanks

Sorting of results is not implemented yet. It wouldn’t be too difficult to implement for the single file search results (one of the reasons that this has been delayed, is that this is standard functionality of tables in Java 1.6 and we didn’t want to duplicate efforts. On the other hand, we’re probably not close to moving to 1.6 as a minimum requirement…).
Sorting results of structured multiple file searches is less trivial. These results reside in a in memory database that can contain (I believe) up to 10000 hits. When visualizing the results only a small portion is fetched from the database. So, I think the whole database needs to be re-sorted in that situation.

As an alternative, once exported to tab-delimited text and opened in a spreadsheet application, it is possible to apply the sorting there.

Hi,
I am also wondering whether it is possible to set an ordering to search results (on one file)?
I want to verify my coding, and to be more accurate I would need to sort the result depending on time and not speaker, and go back and forth between transcription and search result.
Thanks!

Hi,

I’m afraid this is still not possible; this is one of those items that got lost in the long list of requests. Good that you bring this up again, we’ll see if we can add this soon now.
