Can Texis sort results by date (or by price, or rating, or whatever)?

Yes. Texis's sorting power is one of its most popular features. You may sort the results of a text search by any field in your data. For example, if your database contains an author field, you can sort search results by author. This works efficiently even on large result sets, by taking advantage of the powerful sorting capability inherent within relational database technology. Texis can quickly sort tens of thousands of hits or more. Other search engines either bog down sorting more than a few hundred items, or else their sorting capabilities are much more limited. For example, one major search engine cannot perform relevance-ranking together with sorting; another can sort by date only, not by other fields.
