Answers Advanced: Sorting Module Assessment (ANS320) Vertical Sortable Error

Hello - I keep getting an error on my Search Config file when trying to save it in Step 12. The error I’m getting is “verticals: In vertical Events, cannot sort by the field time.start because it is not marked as sortable”. The attached SS also shows this error. I don’t understand this error because I have the “time.start” field marked as “sortable” in the Events vertical.

Can you please help me understand how I can fix this error? I read thru all the other posts related to this challenge and couldn’t find anything about this specific error.

This second screenshot shows my the “sortable” object. (I thought this was included in my first screenshot but I was wrong)

I figured it out! I think I put the time.start sortable object in the wrong place.

Hi @Laura_Canale,

You’re very close! Remember that time.start is a searchable field, so it belongs within the searchableFields objects in your Search Configuration.

As of now, you have time.start outside of searchableFields and therefore your configuration file does not recognize the field as being sortable.

Let me know if this helps.

Looks like we posted at the same time @Laura_Canale! Glad you figured it out :slightly_smiling_face:
