Since we can't create a new sortable managed property in Office 365 I have mapped ows_DueDate to RefinableDate00.

If I add it to a refiner in the search center it allows me to refine tasks by due date as expected.

But I can't seem to use it as a sorting property when creating a result source.

The (tenant) result source fires the query ContentClass:STS_ListItem_Tasks AssignedTo:{User.Name}.

The kicker is that it actually changes the results in some small way when switching between asc and desc, just not correctly.

  • What are you trying to do? Tasks are available for users on the task tab, served up by the Task Management Service. Is that an alternative?

If you add the mapping on a level which covers all tasks, and recrawled all tasks lists, it should work just fine. And all items also need the field set for it to sort properly.

  • "And all items also need the field set for it to sort properly" - Thank you! Is this documented anywhere that I missed?

  • Well, if the MP is missing a value, it cannot be sorted and will appear below all items with a value. Which might be ok :)
