Unable to sort queries

[lozcalver]

Currently there doesn’t appear to be anything in QueryComponentFactory that copies the sort order over from the BaseQuery object to Solarium’s query object.

The suggested format in the docs (sorry for using blame view, apparently you can’t link to specific lines of markdown on Github without using it...) also appears to be incorrect, as solarium expects an array in the format of <field> => <dir> rather than an indexed array of strings which contain both the field name and direction.

As usual, my workaround is in the onBeforeSearch() hook:

<?php

namespace App\Extensions\Indexes;

use Firesphere\SolrSearch\Queries\BaseQuery;
use SilverStripe\Core\Extension;
use Solarium\QueryType\Select\Query\Query;

class MyIndexExtension extends Extension
{
    public function onBeforeSearch(BaseQuery $query, Query $clientQuery)
    {
        $clientQuery->setSorts($query->getSort());
    }
}

The docs also need to be updated so they show sort examples in the following format:

$baseQuery->setSort(['ObjectName_Date' => 'asc']);
