No temporal listing in powersearch "content:..."

When I do a full text search in the PowerSearch with "content:[String]", all documents are listed under "RESULTS" instead of chronologically structured.

This is intended. When using only fulltext search, the ordering is used as returned from solr. Because solr returns the items ordered by relevance wrt search term. If the query is extended with another search condition (which requires to ask the database, too), it will be sorted by date (and will be slower). So you could for example add a year:2020 or any other term to get to the order by date.

The docs could be better on this. There is only this mention here.

Ah ok. I didn't realize that. This time I have probably not read the documentation carefully enough: D.

Your explanation makes sense. You can close the ticket.

don't worry at all about this! it wasn't easy for me to find it.. and it is confusing to see a change in the ordering. not sure, maybe it's time for small one-time info bubbles in the app

Yes. Sometimes it would be nice to have a bit more Info in place.
