I want to figure out how to change our CRAFT CMS-built website's search functionality to deliver search results in descending chronological order. Currently, the oldest entries are at the top and people often don't scroll to the bottom. This has caused confusion for our organization. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Running Craft CMS 3.7.38

  • Are you talking about a search implemented via code for your website or do you mean the Control Panel search?

  • Can you provide some code how it is implemented? if you have this syntax {% set results = craft.entries().search(searchQuery).orderBy().all() %} ,you can change it then to this: .orderBy('postDate DESC').

  • Unfortunately, I didn't build the code, but am on the CMS side since I just joined the company. Trying to get access to the backend, but is there any shortcut on the CMS side to seeing the implementation? I know this is scope creep, but maybe i can then answer the question

  • to change the order you eventually need full access to the code, so i would guess the safest approach is to get access to the templates. can you get to the template via ftp?
