Hi,

In 3.0.x the search page just does a zebra query from the perl file.

You need to modify the template file to show the options and the items
search perl file to process the new options and fire a zebra query
based on the fields you want to sort. If the fields you need or not
already indexed, you would need to add the fields to be indexed in the
zebra configuration.

I am not familiar with jQuery to day whether this can be done using
JS. Also 3.2 might be different.
