Ferret talk - Oct 2006 - sorting results with aaf multi_search

Is it possible to sort the result of acts_as_ferret  multi_search the 
way you can with find_contents?

I''m using the latest ferret and aaf. I have an interface that offers 
multiple search options which search different fields of a single model. 
In addition to these, I also have an "all" search type which is meant
to
pull in one additional model and consider all indexed fields.

find_by_contents is working fine. But when I switch to the "all"
search
type that uses multi_search, the sort parameter seems to be ignored. 
Should I be doing something differently?

please try aaf from svn trunk, there is a known bug in this area that is 
fixed there.
