I have created a ViewsSort plugin that works on a normal view (like taxonomy_term) but not on a view based on Search API : it is not present when I click on “Add sort” in BO. This sort is used to create a custom order of content types, and I use hook_views_data_alter() to provide it to views :
/** * Implements hook_views_data_alter(). */ function mymodule_views_data_alter(array &$data) { // works on classic view $data['node_field_data']['inspiration_first'] = array( 'title' => t('Custom search sort in page tags with inspiration first'), 'group' => t('Search'), 'help' => t('Sort content types in this order : dossier_inspiration, dossier_conseil, produit.'), 'sort' => array( 'field' => 'type', 'id' => 'inspiration_first', ), ); // doesn't work on search api view $data['search_api_db_default_search_content_index_content_type']['inspiration_first'] = array( 'title' => t('Place inspiration first for custom search'), 'group' => t('Search'), 'help' => t('Sort content types in this order : dossier_inspiration, dossier_conseil, produit.'), 'sort' => array( 'field' => 'value', 'id' => 'inspiration_first', ), ); } Any idea ? Some sorts like Random work also on search api and I’ve provided the good table, I think (search_api_db_default_search_content_index_content_type).
