Hi,

You will need to write your own servlet that backs your Content Finder extension. You can take a look at http://adobe-consulting-services.github.io/acs-aem-commons/features/contentfinder-querybuilder.html for a method of implementing Content Finder tabs with a more flexible backend than is provided out of the box.

Note that you can also just do this by adding "order:jcr:content/cq:name" to your query, i.e. if you put "geometrixx order:jcr:content/cq:name" in the search box, you'll get the search results sorted by name.

Regards,

Justin

What you need to do is overlay the Content Finder. You can find Content Finder here:

/libs/wcm/extensions/contentfinder

Copy to apps and then override. I am trying to find an example that shows this - but the only KB I can find is how to modify the Content Finder by adding a tab:

https://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/kb/CustomCFTab.html

this gives you an idea of how to modify. However - for your use case - you need to change the application logic to sort names of assets by name and display the sorted list of assets.

Thanks for your reply.

 

I have overlay the content finder files. these files call the below service and display the result depends on the  lastmodified date.

/bin/wcm/contentfinder/asset/view.json/content/dam

My Question is:

1) is there a way to modify the service?

2) Where is the service implementation (ie) path?

 

Thanks,

Michael
