Alphabetical sort search results by page name

Permalink
Hello and greetings to the community, my first post here!
Sorry about my english in advance, I´m learning right now the language.

I need my results search page sorted by page name, in alphabetical order. I´m using the built-in search block.

I have a page for every customer under a "suppliers" page, and I need this alphabetical sort so they don´t get mad for the order of appearance (right now this happens by order of creation).

I find something similar in this post, but I can´t properly implement it for the page name:

I tried to replace $ipl->sortByRelevance() with $ipl->sortByName(); but nothing happens.

My knowledge of php is very limited, can someone please advice me the best form of achieve this?

Thanks.

I managed to get only the page name in the search results, now I only need to sort the results in alphabetical order.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Thanks for the welcome Stephen :D

The addon is nice, but I need to sort the search results, not a given list.

Looking my text I see maybe I don´t explanied all properly, sorry.

Let my give you an example.

A standard page of customer looks like this:

Content block > Company name:Brig - Location: Madrid

Search for word "madrid" from search block gives 4 results with that location inside the page sorting page names like this: "Brig, Codec, Ars and Blues" in this order. This is how is working now.

What I need is to order the search results page in the output to "Ars, Blues, Brig, Codec". A standard page list block can be sort in alphabetical way with'alpha_asc'. I need the same for search results.

I checked the controller.php of the page_list block and looks like I need to insert a full variable for achieve this in the Search block controller.php, but I lack the knowledge.

Thanks anyway!
