Re: [WebDNA] reverse rank=off

interpreted = N
texte = I hear you TC but,I just wanted to rescue one of my old DB's which do not have a unique key nor does it include the date (look'ed-up from another DB).It sound logical to me to use the rank=off to display it as it was written to the DB. It sound logical to me that I could reverse this order with some functionality within WebDNA. It's OK with me that WebDNA is not capable of doing this to help me out here ;)Unfortunately, I think I need to rescue this good old DB by providing it with a unique serial.Anyways...Thanks all.PalleOn 28/07/2008, at 20.17, Toby Cox wrote:> Webdna isn't really set up to do what you want to do.>> You are asking to have the results ordered by most relevant, but > also my most recent.>> if you want it by most relevant, then the "rank=off" in your code is > fine>> if you want it ordered by date, then "deskusort=1" would do>> if you want it ordered by most relevant, but grouped by year then > you could do the following:>> [search db=/forum/db/ > l4text.db&wsl4_txt1data=[forumsearch]&deyearsort=1&yearsumm=T] > [!][/!]> [founditems]>
