suitescript to search and sort by column
c
AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):
In SuiteScript, when you are creating a search and want to sort by multiple columns, the order of the columns in the results drives the order in which the multiple columns are sorted. This means that if you want to sort by the second column, you would need to order your columns in the sorting order you desire. Here is a simple example of how you might create a search and sort by multiple columns:
Copy code
javascript
var search = search.create({
   type: "transaction",
   columns: [
      search.createColumn({name: "trandate", sort: search.Sort.ASC}),
      search.createColumn({name: "tranid", sort: search.Sort.ASC})
   ]
});
In this example, the search results would first be sorted by the
trandate
column in ascending order, and then by the
tranid
column in ascending order. If you don't want to swap the order of the columns in your search, and if the result set is not too large, you could potentially sort the results using JavaScript after you've retrieved them. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
