SwishSearch::setSort — Set the sort order

### Description

void SwishSearch::setSort ( string `$sort` )
Warning

This function is EXPERIMENTAL. The behaviour of this function, its name, and surrounding documentation may change without notice in a future release of PHP. This function should be used at your own risk.

### Parameters

`sort`

  Sort order of the results is a string containing name of a result property combined with sort direction ("asc" or "desc"). Examples: "swishrank desc", "swishdocpath asc", "swishtitle asc", "swishdocsize desc", "swishlastmodified desc" etc.

### Return Values

No value is returned.

### Examples

Example #1 Basic SwishSearch::setSort() example

`<?php
try {
$swish = new Swish("index.swish-e");
$search = $swish->prepare();
$results = $search->execute("time");
echo "First query found: ", $results->hits, " hits\n";
$i = 0;
while($result = $results->nextResult()) {
echo "Hit #", ++$i, " - ", $result->swishdocsize, " bytes\n";
}
$search->setSort("swishdocsize desc"); //sort by document size
$results = $search->execute("time");
echo "Second query found: ", $results->hits, " hits\n";
$i = 0;
while($result = $results->nextResult()) {
echo "Hit #", ++$i, " - ", $result->swishdocsize, " bytes\n";
}
} catch (SwishException $e) {
echo $e->getMessage(), "\n";
}
?>`

The above example will output something similar to:

    First query found: 5 hits
    Hit #1 - 4261 bytes
    Hit #2 - 37937 bytes
    Hit #3 - 7126 bytes
    Hit #4 - 15427 bytes
    Hit #5 - 4768 bytes
    Second query found: 5 hits
    Hit #1 - 37937 bytes
    Hit #2 - 15427 bytes
    Hit #3 - 7126 bytes
    Hit #4 - 4768 bytes
    Hit #5 - 4261 bytes
