Custom ordering of results

[Jonah Greenthal]

I'd like to reorder my search results (on the client side) to prioritize ones that start with the search text, while still displaying ones that don't. How can I do that?

(This seems related, but not identical, to https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/select2/sorting/select2/oPZMI6lbSzM/W1uDZR_JnpwJ and https://github.com/select2/select2/issues/3106.)

Thanks!

Anyone? Please?

Sorry about the delay, I can only answer half of your question.

Select2 provides the `sorter` option (previously called `sortResults`) which takes in the array of results to be displayed and expects a sorted array to be returned as a result. Select2, by default, does not do any special sorting and just passes the original array of results through. You can override the `sorter` method (it's a function) when you initialize Select2.

You can find an example in the old documentation (change `sortResults` to `sorter`): http://select2.github.io/select2/#sort_results

Also note that only the first parameter (`results`) is supported in Select2 4.0.0.

The two links you provided were about ordering the selection, not the results.

Thanks! Is there documentation on the object types for the arguments?

[Jonah Greenthal]

Okay, I think I figured that out -- but how do I access the query,
given that only the results parameter is supported in v4?

Thanks,
Jonah

Because Select2 4.0.0 separates the retrieval of results from the display of them, the `sorter` method can't provide the context for the query (and as a result, the search term). You can intercept this in other areas and store it in a global variable though.

You can find an example here on this Stack Overflow answer for underlining term matches in search results: http://stackoverflow.com/q/28958620/359284

Basically you need to override `language.searching` (which takes in `query`) such that it stores the argument to a global variable and returns the "Searching..." text you would normally expect. You can guarantee that the searching translation will be called before the results are sorted and rendered.

  When it comes to improving results and making smarter moves, the same idea applies to puzzle games as well. Players often experiment with different strategies to climb higher on the leaderboard, and discussions around a block blast viral hack usually focus on understanding patterns, planning ahead, and maximizing available space rather than relying on random moves. A structured approach often produces more consistent results, whether you're organizing search results or tackling challenging game boards.
