Change Default Facet Sorting in OpenSemanticSearch

[jerrydeasley]

I'm running OpenSemanticSearch on a Debian 11 server and I have been able to successfully import, extract, and ocr data, and can access it through the /search webpage.

The facets appear by default to be sorted by the numerical "count".

This appears to be the expected default behavior in Solr.

From the Solr Ref. Guide:

facet.sort
This parameter determines the ordering of the facet field constraints.
There are two options for this parameter.
count
Sort the constraints by count (highest count first).
index
Return the constraints sorted in their index order (lexicographic by indexed term). For terms in the ASCII range, this will be alphabetically sorted.
The default is count if facet.limit is greater than 0, otherwise, the default is index.

I would like to change the "Path(s)" facet to appear of the /search page in Alphabetical Order but have been unable to make any headway.

It appears that the right change to /etc/solr-php-ui/config.facets.php might do the trick but I have not been able to make it work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
