Search Results Sorting through Querystring

Question

I followed this post on creating a Company Directory which uses the Sort Dropdown in the Search Results Web Part. This is great but is there any way to do this through manipulating the Query string? I know with list views you can alter the Query string to Sort and Filter the table.

Answer 1

Hey you can manipulated the sorting in the query string like this:

https://site/search/results.aspx#Default={"k":"SearchWord","o":[{"d":0,"p":"ManagedProperty"}]}

I'm sure you can do more advanced sorting as well, here is a good reference: Sort search results
