How does Low Search determine the order of entries w/ the same low_search_score?

Mats Mikkel Rummelhoff 25 Aug 2015 06:21 question, complete

When sorting by low_search_score, how does LS determine the order of entries w/ the same score?

I can't spot the pattern, it doesn't appear to be alphabetical nor by date. Is it random?

Ideally, I'd want to sort on low_search_score and then have the entries w/ identical scores be ordered by title. Is that possible?

    Actually, the scores are rounded to 2 decimals *after* they are sorted. That means even though the scores appear the same, they might be different.

    It's currently not possible to have a secondary sorting option when sorting by score primarily.

    Good to know – thanks Low!
