Re: search bean and sorting

[Peter Carlson <ca...@bookandhammer.com>]

Hi,

I currently use the SearchBean code (although I did refactor much of the
code in the contribution) to sort by date.

Your same code should work if you created a field "formattedDate"

Again, I haven't tested this new refactored code, so let me know if you run
into any problems.
