Purpose

Sorts the results returned by the search page. Articles are sorted to the top and pages in other spaces are sorted within the space (by space number, so Talk: is after articles).

Use

The script runs shortly after the search page returns the results, so the results are displayed first in their unsorted state and then sorted.

It does nothing for other pages.

Prerequisites

None.

Installing

Add the following line to your common.js file. 

{{subst:Lusc|User:GhostInTheMachine/SortSearchResults.js}}

this also works (although we are not supposed to use importScript ...) 

importScript('User:GhostInTheMachine/SortSearchResults.js'); // Backlink: User:GhostInTheMachine/SortSearchResults.js

Notes

Inspired by a request from User:Headbomb in August 2025.

Alternatives

The search system should allow an option for the results to be sorted by page name, so that this script is not needed.
