Query Build API - Results in random order

[#1]

Hello Community - Currently I am using query Builder API to fetch the results from JCR.

One query using sort by on lastModified date  and other requirement is to return the "results in random order (I don't mention any orderby here)" when I query JCR, both the options gives me the results in same order. Could you please tell me how to fetch the results by lastModified date.

Below is the query that I am using for OrderBy

path=/content/xx/en/yy/test

1_property=sling:resourceType

1_property.value=yycomponents/page/abc

1_property.operation=like

orderby=@jcr:content/cq:lastModified

orderby.sort=desc

p.limit=50

Thanks in advance.

Hi @v1101 ,

The Only property that you need to change in your query is the orderby as highlighted below:

path=/content/xx/en/yy/test

1_property=sling:resourceType

1_property.value=yycomponents/page/abc

1_property.operation=like

orderby=@cq:lastModified

orderby.sort=desc

p.limit=50

The reason fo this is, the query will return the paths till jcr:content and then the query was checking cq:lastModified in jcr:content/jcr:content/cq:lastModified and hence it was not working.

With above change, it should work fine.

Hope this helps!!

You can try something like:

fulltext=we-retail
group.p.or=true
group.1_p.and=true
group.1_path=/content
group.1_type=cq:Page
group.1_relativedaterange.property=jcr:content/cq:lastModified
group.1_relativedaterange.lowerBound=-1M

OR 

1 2 3

type=cq:Page orderby=@jcr:content/cq:lastModified orderby.sort=desc

Thanks everyone, the sort by last modified worked perfectly. My another question was how to query to get results in random order. For every query of JCR, the ordey by should be random. Like in SQL where there is order by rand(). Could someone help with this.

Try to create your query in below format.

path=/content/we-retail
type=cq:Page
1_property=jcr:content/sling:resourceType
1_property.value=weretail/components/structure/page
1_property.operation=like
orderby=@jcr:content/cq:lastModified
orderby.sort=desc
