Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.

EDIT: I realized this, probably, isn't the way g.d.o works and moved my question to the forum (http://drupal.org/node/698770).

Hi all, I'm almost new to drupal and to this group.
Here is what I'm doing and my question.

I have a search block that should return results ordered by a particular field. Let's say, for example, that I'm looking on my drupal site all content of type "book" for the world "magic" BUT I'd like to have those ordered by Author name or date of publication.

I tried the "Search Ranking" module but it provides me scoring factors only for predefined fields and not those I want. Also using faceted search i didn't find a way to implement such a behavior.

Can you point me to some module or give me any hint?
